What is the worst part of being a writer?

Need more time…

Right now, the worst part is time. I have so many ideas buzzing around my head, but don’t have as much time as I would like to write them all down. This is one of the reasons I write a lot of flash fiction as they are shorter pieces and fit in a busy life.

I also see a lot of amazing writers conferences and events around the country. These would be beneficial to expand my networks and improve my skills, however trying to fit them in with work, kids, writing, housework, and all of the different parts of being a working mother and a writer.

I would love to have more time in my day, but for now, I snatch writing time whenever I can.
