Today was the first day of the San Diego Writers Conference. First, I have to say I'm totally inspired and empowered to keep doing what I'm doing. At the same time, I'm totally overwhelmed by it all -- everything it takes to get published and then to actually sell your book once it is in print (and online).
I am just totally amazed by how well-read the people are at these conferences. I feel like such a slacker! How does anyone have the time to read 8 million books and write profusely? And attend conferences? And go to writing groups?
I'm trying to chalk up my relatively limited amount of reading and writing to the fact that I work full time and have a husband and a kid. There are only so many hours in a day!
But, I'm trying. I'm reading my own genre and other genres whenever I can and writing whenever I can -- just enough that I don't feel too guilty about the time it takes away from my family and just enough that I actually get something accomplished.
Talk about work-life balance! It's work-life-writing balance!
