Back to Part-time Nurse, Full Time Writer

I am officially back to being a full-time mom, writer, and homemaker and a part-time nurse. Hooray.

While working full-time I did manage to eke out 200 pages of my new book, The Demon Chaser. But, that was in 7 months.

I wonder how my productivity will increase now that I can write almost every day. When I used to be home full-time, I wrote about 2 chapters a week. Fairly polished. Of course, back then, I was also home-schooling a 2nd grader and keeping up with a toddler.

This year, Jacob is going off to public school and even the 3 year old, Levi, is going to pre-school for a half-day.

For the first time, ever, I'm going to be home alone to write.

Since Levi will be going to school from 9-12, I think those will be my writing hours. Well, more like 9:30 to 11:30 since I have to take him and pick him up.

So for those hours I'll tap out nothing but new stuff.

Then, in the afternoon, I'll do my home-maker duties. I still have to find time to critique for my writer friends and rework in their suggestions in my previous chapters.

I haven't worked out the logistics just yet.

I'll keep you posted on how I do with the new arrangement.
