Writier Dilemmas: What to Write Now or what to finish first?

I have an hour before my son wakes up. This hour is precious especially on a Saturday. It is the time when I find my own inner strength and write instead of sleeping in. This morning was easy; I slided out of bed because I knew there was something waiting for me and anxiously I went to the computer.

I find the inner strength to proceed from one piece to another. This means writing, writing and editing.Last night I was working late on a YA fiction story and here I am this morning, thinking about that book proposal for Mc-Graw I need to hone and sharpen.

Part of me scramps and runs around for time. It is never enough. When I learn to think of school as being something less of an incidental event, I probably will be less anxious about trying to balance school , writing and motherhood.
