Thanks for understanding and allowing me a little more time to write right now :) Cynthia,

With this layoff, more than ever before, I’ve been looking at writing in different ways and wanting the balance that’s happening right now (novels, blogging, other writing, and time to spend with loved ones) to become the norm.

Thanks for understanding and allowing me a little more time to write right now :)

Why should I? I would already know the whole story! I love to read your stories, and in order to give good feedback, I have to go into it knowing almost nothing about the story so I can tell you what worked for me. I know with everything that needs to be done, it can be hard to figure out time to sit down and write and get it done. Especially with your current situation -- you may have been laid off, but you have a lot of paperwork to do, job hunting to do, etc... it can still all add up. I'm incredibly pleased that you are finding the time to get writing done on both your novel and the blog, but you've also been making time for me so we can still enjoy some time together until you find another job. I've been enjoying spending time with you, and still seeing you so productive. Thanks so much! :) Yeah, I would be very annoyed if you talked about the story constantly — I wouldn’t want to read it.
