I can understand that a family can make it hard to write because they don't understand or downgrade what you're doing. Don't stop writing for anything! Well...maybe to spend some time with your loved ones now and again. :)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-49114338263172128562015-04-29T10:22:19.558-05:002015-04-29T10:22:19.558-05:00Went out with husband today.

It was really difficult leaving my writing stuff which all my family think is something to be done just for my private amusement when I'm at a loose end. It takes me all my time to find the courage to give myself permission to write. Getting better though.

...@Liz, sounds like you've got the right idea.<br /><br />I know I'm not the only one who has withdrawn while writing and working, because I noticed many people mention this as an insecurity for IWSG day recently, but none of those people are stopping by. *sighs* Oh well.Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-25413698097862700332015-04-27T20:31:46.412-05:002015-04-27T20:31:46.412-05:00No, not really.

I'm withdrawn as my natural state, so this is nothing new.<br /><br />The trick is to keep the writing et al to a specific time and if it's not that time, then other interests must be allowed to enter.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-39981463749210623072015-04-27T16:49:42.369-05:002015-04-27T16:49:42.369-05:00@Tamara, that's good!

It is my conscience that does not allow me to withdraw from my family. Even when I'm in the thick of it, I force myself to blog, market, write--whatever--when they are in bed. As for book signings and presentations, well, I haven't done those in a few years and I don't intend to until the time is right.<br /><br />Elizabeth Mueller<br />AtoZ 2015<br /><a href="http://elizabethmueller.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">My Little Pony</a><br>Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028099814857743134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-58012255500949978542015-04-27T12:26:20.210-05:002015-04-27T12:26:20.210-05:00I'm always withdrawn but my sons figured out a...I'm always withdrawn but my sons figured out a way around that by hugging and clamping down on my arms so I can't type. The littlest one likes to also climb on me and shower me with kisses.
