Looking back, I have been very prolific during busy and difficult times, and it has saved me. Now onto the work of getting more published!

Love this! I’ve been making a similar change—embracing the many writing related and other projects I’ve committed to and learning to love it. So it’s wonderful to hear this reinforced. Thank you! 😊

"The change I made was to accept how busy I am and use that to my advantage." THIS! Great perspective. Thanks! One thing I'll share is that your "busy" is writing adjacent. My busy feels disconnected from my writing life but I try to remember that it's all material that sits in my subconscious for future writing. Also, even better if I write things down, especially during all the family events that tend to be part of summer busy-ness.

Certainly, Sayu. I was much more frustrated when I was still practicing corporate law, and my busyness was mostly work related. I had to make many life changes to get here.
