But my comment is about you and your mum taking care of your dad when he's vulnerable. While it cut on your hours of writing, it might inspire you to for novel about that topic. Kyunq Sook Shin from Korea had a huge best seller "Please Look After Mom." Sometimes the hours of writing are not lost, but just building inside a great touching novel that can inspire millions in similar situation. Best wishes for your dad.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652216131823877445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-47458622006860978072012-05-01T13:47:17.967-07:002012-05-01T13:47:17.967-07:00Isabel: I'd be really glad to have you take pa...Isabel: I'd be really glad to have you take part, hun - but remember, realistic goals.

What you've been doing for your dad is really admirable and it looks like it's making a huge difference, so it would be fantastic if you could juggle both those full-time jobs effectively in the future.<br /><br />I will most likely be participating, although I will have to think what my goal might be.

...Yay! I'm so glad that you all like the idea! <br /><br />Yes, Liz - the target can be whatever you feel is right for you. If you want to make it a target to reach a certain point in your novel, or write four poems, or just to complete 20 pages of notes in May, that's fine.<br /><br />:) :) :)Zoë Marriotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275368005359548134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-64433583700612422502012-05-01T05:47:39.649-07:002012-05-01T05:47:39.649-07:00amy_celestia, my thoughts exactly!

I've barely worked on my novel since January so this will be a great opportunity for me to wrap up the first draft. Who knows? It might just be the first original draft I ever finish.
