It's much easier to write when the house is quiet. I woke up relatively early, fed the ducks, and fixed a cup of coffee. I turned on the computer and messed around on FB while I "woke up" and then started writing. I wrote about 6 pages before Andrew got up and came down to join me, turning on the TV. Now he's watching some lame Bam Magera-esque show... Nitro Circus. Blah. But now it's hard to write.
I'm worried about getting my schoolwork done, too. I've got a huge project due in a week (my final artifact for my 6144 class), as well as my artifact for 6018 due 2 or 3 days after that one.
I may need to take some time away from my writing to work on those. Plus I still have lessons to come up with for school, and collaborative research lessons to design for 4th grade.
Writing is a wonderful escape. It would be wonderful to be able to just be a writer one day -- I think it would be a relaxing lifestyle. I mean, I'd still want to work in the media center, though. I wouldn't want to just write until I was ready to retire from the school system. But it would be awesome to have extra income coming in. And if it's something that only takes a couple hours of my time every day, then WOW! It would be like having a part-time job I enjoyed.
What do you think the chances are of actually getting published and making money at this? Probably not good.
