Head over to Alex J Cavanaugh's blog to check him out and read about the IWSG while you're there.
Last month I said I was hoping to be writing again, working my way to 1k a day...It hasn't happened yet, not even the 1k a week. But I am writing more than I was for a while. I've fallen a little behind on my critiques for my group, but I'll catch up.
I've been really busy this summer. It's strange because I feel busier this year than I was last year. Last summer I was constantly going. Writing and blogging, critiquing and reading, plus trying to keep my kids entertained all while running on little to no sleep. This year, I'm ready for bed before my kids are and that makes it hard to find time for writerly things. I mean, I spend all day doing things with the girls which makes me too busy for writer things, then bedtime rolls around and I just want to crash. Honestly though, I'd rather be having fun with my kids instead of throwing them to the TV or something so that I can do something for myself.
Eventually I'll get it balanced out so that I can do it all, but until then, I'm going to write, read, and blog when I can and try not to stress about it.
I have been getting caught up on reading. I used to read a book a day, maybe one every couple of days. I'm not quite there yet, but I am reading and that's what counts.
Anyway, I hope you're all doing well, I really need to catch up on my blog lists. I'm so out of the loop and I'm sure so many of you have great things going on. Add that to my list. Write, read, critique, blog, read blogs...
And there it is, hope you're all having an awesome week. :)

You will never regret spending time with the kids. I always wrote after they fell asleep too. Eventually you'll find your time, your balance!
Good luck!
Looks like you're making progress and you have a great attitude. Keep it up.
The kids are important, more so than any writerly things. You have your priorities right and that's what is important!
We'll get you caught up to that 1k a week! Starting...um... Thursday. Cuz I work today, gotta go to bed early tomorrow. :P
I've gotten back into my reading habit as well. Hope you have the energy to write again soon. And good to hear from you!
It happens. I'm trying to read more blogs, comment more. But sometimes I just get so caught up in the writing, reading, family stuff that it's hard to keep up with anything more.
My writing is way down...but my reading is way up. The way things are now, you take what you can get! :)
