"me time"

I'm telling you that yesterday was ROUGH! I tried to play SUPERMOM by doing the multi-tasked thing... online, joining book clubs, tweaking my blog, editing my story, talking on the phone, cooking (3 meals), organizing my lil'nook, washing clothes, changing diapers, playing the so called perfect playmate, grocery shopping and the list goes on.

But what really peeves me is my other half doesn't see the hard work women (I) do when we (wo-MAN) take on the SAHM role by preference over a lack of quality child care facilities at an affordable price. I'm not complaining... or am I? I just want a little "me time" or do I give all that up after becoming a mom? Heck nawww, I just need to figure out how to get my time in without feeling too exhausted once the house has settled down for the evening.

If role reversal were to take place between me and my other half he wouldn't make it. See I'm releasing aka venting on my blog but he'll explode because they (MEN) just can't handle the multi-tasked roles of a (wo-MAN). It's been proven and you think they would finally understand what we do behind the walls of our loving home.

ANYHOOTS--- I didn't edit my story like I intended to do last night. But today I'll take a multivitamin and dope myself up on caffeine with an extra shot of espresso before I take on the editing phase of my story. My goal is to submit it on the 8th, do I have enough time between now and then?

lesson's learned

After discovering a new muse, today I decided to put my thoughts to paper and do what Walter Mosley claims I can do, This Year You Write Your Novel. Read excerpt «---

I'm a novice to this thing call writing. Last month I wrote a short erotic story and submitted it to Amber Quill Heat Wave contest---UNEDITED. I know shame on me huh??? But it's ok since it was my first time I did learned a few valuable lessons to last a life time.

001) always give yourself plenty time to write
002) never submit your first draft, that's a big NO NO!
003) always edit your work & revise the final draft before submission
004) and never take rejection as failure- it's an ACCOMPLISHMENT!
