Dotsie, I dare say you might have to forfeit one thing for a while to take on the task of writing. You support writers here. Remember what Julia Cameron says about "shadow artists" for example those who own a gallery but don't paint even though deep inside they want to but they are afraid. You've got to start on a writing schedule. I think you already decided, but you are stalling. I know that stalling tactic very well! I think I made a terrible mistake by substituting other activites to avoid finishing a second and third book.
