Writing in bits...

I am writing in bits these days. On "holiday" with my family, I still have 4 deadlines to meet, and am trying to steal snippets of time when I can sit down and write. It is during times like these, away from my own routine and office that I am reminded of what my dear friend Kim once said to me..."writing requires space." And it does. Writing requires, for me a physical space, a room of one' s own as Virgina Woolf calls it...

I started this post 6 hours ago...before my family came down to the breakfast table and out the door we went...to a lovely pilates lesson, mani-pedi's and lunch and then errands. This is the way it goes. And of course I want to spend as much time with them as possible...but time when visiting is in short supply and so with this snippet, 15 minutes, before heading out to see friends and have an early dinner with their kids at 5:30, I try and finish this post, and if all goes well, I will get back to my writing, some time when everyone else is asleep.

Snip, snip, snip...
