I'm just so used to getting up, writing, dealing with studio stuff while eating a late lunch, then teaching piano until 9, eating a late dinner, and going to bed. When I make a meal, I have to tell myself over and over, "It's okay. You have TIME to do this now. You still will get your writing done for the day." And then a voice says that if I have time, shouldn't I be writing more? Grrr!!! Me too, Erica, me too!

Can you come? YOu should come, Robin! It's just a meeting of writers, and I'm sure she'd love to have you come, too! Say you'll come! Problem is, my income is now a shoestring, too, so I need to work faster than I am. :-) Oh yes! Can you come? YOu should come, Robin!

How fun! Next visit, I'm so there! (If you want me. Notice how I just plopped in there.) You've worked your butt off for a long time. I'd say you've earned a break. Be nice to yourself! Plus, you've learned how to live on a shoestring budget, so you really don't need to work as much. I can’t wait to hear how your visit goes! How fun! Next visit, I’m so there! (If you want me.

It's taking a while for me to adjust, but it's a new lifestyle, and a better way (for me, at least) to live. Yay! Only one more week! Totally, Melanie!

I feel like I can read books now, whereas before, I wanted to read so many, that I'd start a million and just sit and mourn that I couldn't finish them all! Charles, I love it!

So the book a day thing is a challenge, but doable. :-) I'd take kids instead, though, if I could!

When I quit my job it took me a long time to get used to not going to an office every day, but now I couldn't imagine going back. Granted, I do need to WORK, but still, :P I can't wait to meet you, and I'm excited for you & Jenna to meet, too! Natasha, I’m sure it will take a while for the guilt to subside.
