Family Fun
Life is busy. From morning until night, my daily schedule remains full. Can you relate? It seems I never get everything accomplished. Does that sound familiar? As a writer, my work is never finished. One story ends and another begins.
Writing is one of life’s passions for me. But, should I enjoy time away from my stories? Yes, at times… and probably more than I do. However, although writing is work, it is also in the fun category for me. So, should I really pull myself away from my quirky, bumbling characters? Well, …
A couple of weekends ago, I had the opportunity to enjoy some fun bonding time with my adult daughters and husband. (Those protagonists and antagonists were just going to have to wait for their life revelations until another day.)
My younger daughter is often times busy with sports. There were a couple of pickleball competitions locally that she participated in, and my husband, older daughter, and I went to enjoy and show our support. I know I’m probably behind times, but it was the first time I had seen pickleball played. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and my daughter even brought home a medal! What a champion, and I was there to see it!
My older daughter is an author and copy editor. Much of her time is spent behind a computer. However, on a recent Saturday afternoon, local writers had a get together to meet a couple of writers that were coming to the area from out of state. Since I’m also an author, they welcomed me to their gathering. It was a great time shared with my daughter and to meet other writers in person and chat a bit.
It’s important to take time out of a busy work schedule and enjoy something different… at least once in a while. There is no one I would rather do that with than my family, but it was also nice to visit with others at the events. A dose of fun every so often can add quite the perfect ingredient to the adventure of life.

500 words every day doesn’t sound like much to write, or does it? To some, it may seem an impossible amount to create every day for a whole month. To others, it is only the beginning for each new day. Some days I wrote more, and a couple of days I wasn’t sure if I was going to reach 500 due to a few unexpected things that popped up. By the end of each day (excluding a couple of Sundays which is allowed,) I met the goal! It’s a great challenge and an excellent way to get so much accomplished in a single month!
