I’m really ...Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad that you enjoyed this post and am happy that you’ll be coming back! <br /><br />Trust me when I say that I know all about scheduled insanity. Writing is a full-time task, and it’s difficult at best to try balancing that, plus a full-time job, family life, other interests, etc. etc. Then, when you throw social networking and blogging in on top of all that, true craziness ensues. <br /><br />I’ve been lucky so far with blogging. The more I write, the more inspired I am to write. That’s where the blog has been great. But the networking – while I love the people that I’m meeting – is dangerously taxing on my time. I’m still figuring out a schedule that actually works, but as long as I’m alive and kicking, you can be sure that I will be trying! <br /><br />Make sure never to give up on your writing! If you’ve even thought about starting out on this journey, this writer’s life, then that means that being a writer is at the very core of your being. Don’t lose that. Ever. <br /><br />All my best!Amanda Fangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11029312338811781606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728073317003326781.post-65996929349655595022012-05-20T00:21:18.669-05:002012-05-20T00:21:18.669-05:00Amanda,

I have been on a stretch of scheduled insanity for a long time and will be getting my first real "break" in a few weeks. Two and a half months off from the chaos of what has become normalcy is going to be very welcomed. <br /><br />Much can be said about "....don't prioritize your schedule." I have managed to get a better understanding of what life as annindependent author may look like over the past few weeks, but in maintaining all of the craziness of social networking, I fear I have abandoned the essence of what has been my greatest skill and passion for almost fifteen years -- writing. <br /><br />I look forward to checking out some more of your posts. <br /><br />A.M.<br />http://amschultz.comA.M.
