Super to begin my day with writers. Time for Discipline to kick in for me. 30 years of writing-now is time for memoir/trilogy/essays.... if only, courage of my convictions/passion will bloom in Melbourne winter of my days.

In reply to dholcomb1. Yep-sounds about right! I am constantly moving computers and chairs around the house.

In reply to John Peragine. That's close to my issue. :) My new office went to my husband, then the college kid came home and he took over that room, and husband is back in the regular office, so now I'm back in the kitchen, but instead of writing, I'm the short order cook. Plus, making sure the high school kid is doing his work.

Good and timely article.

John-I have a good (funny but old) piccolo player joke, but it relies heavily upon an expletive too improper to share here. But it's set in a Southern church's Sunday service.The organ player is out sick, but there is one piccolo player in the congregation who agrees to play the hymns on his piccolo.

In reply to Wendy Allott. I've had to shift my work time- I'm back to being a night owl or early in the morning to get my best work done.

In reply to dholcomb1. I agree Denise- I have had to set up 2 home offices- one for my son and the other for my wife. I have had to protect my space. But now- I have to play IT for everyone. I am employing a sign on the door when I am working to leave me alone.

Wonderful post. I'm finding it hard to write at the moment, so I'm trying to focus on education. That way, when the muse (kids go back to school, husband goes back to work, grocery shopping doesn't feel like walk on the wild side) I'll be ready. SCBWI is running some great webinars for members.

I'm having a hard time in this limbo, dynamics in the household have changed, and I need to find my place.
