Two Weeks,14 Days, 336 Hours, 20160 Minutes


Some days I wish I had the house to myself to sit at my computer and type. As a writer with four children and a husband, I find it hard to escape long enough to write. Just when I find myself at my computer typing and my thoughts are flowing- INTERRUPTION! Mom, I need... Breakfast... A diaper change... A referee... A snack... A ride... I would say that is my greatest frustration as a writer. Space.

The other day I was telling a friend two weeks would be great. If I could just send my husband and kids away for two weeks, I would have my New York Times Bestseller. The entire story is in my head. Now its about having the time to transfer what is in my head to my computer. I am not saying two weeks would be enough to get it to print, but two weeks would be enough time to write the rough draft.

When I think of how productive I am during the hour or two my toddler naps and my children are at school, I know what I could do with two weeks, 14 Days, 336 Hours,20,160 Minutes. Compose my New York Times Bestseller!
