Balancing time is of extreme importance, but it's not always easy. When we first moved into our new house and I finally had my new office space I was overjoyed. I thought I would have more time to spend pursuing my literary endeavors and surfing the Internet. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case. I think I'm actually spending less time on my computer. My responsibilities make it difficult if not impossible to get time in my office until after the entire household is asleep. Only then can I have uninterrupted time to write, and sometimes that isn't until after 11 o'clock at night.

I am however getting ready for NaNoWriMo. I'm changing genres this year. Mysteries have always been my passion my passion, but for the past three year I have written supernatural thrillers. When things would slow down I would just throw in a confrontation with Mephistopheles and his hounds of Hell to keep the story moving. A mystery is very different. It has more to do with the cerebral workings of the detective than with physical battles. I'm a little nervous, but I'm anxious to begin.
