Aw, thanks! I appreciate you including it in another fantastic issue. I definitely will submit something in the new year. Maybe not January (unless a great idea comes to mind), but certainly sooner rather than later! Thanks again for having me. 🙂

I really enjoyed this, especially your thoughts about creating and “hurling ideas” then going into the kitchen to do the dishes.
I also laughed at the thought of neighbours peeking through the curtains and what they might see! How many times have I glanced up at the dust on my books or a spider web in the corner of the ceiling and think, “I must get to that”, but don’t, struggling instead with a difficult paragraph.

Thanks! I think that, even today, most creative women (to a much, much larger extent than our male counterparts) have to juggle so many responsibilities. The act of putting our art first must be a deliberate choice, and one that we must make with enough frequency for us to actually accomplish things.
Our next door neighbor is an artist, and I still worry about him seeing dust bunnies in my downstairs corridor! However, I will choose writing over cleaning most of the time (and every single time if I am in the middle of an electric bit of creativity).
