So
how much writing did you get done this summer?
Every
time someone asks me this, I have to fight an intense desire to slink away in
shame. Instead, I mumble something about being busy with the kids and vacation
because I hate to tell them the truth.
How
much did I write this summer? Not much.
Now
I know some of you are going to try to tell me that it’s okay. I have young
children. I’m not going to get much writing done during the summer. But the
truth is, I wasn’t getting much writing done before summer started.
