I might find it tough to write long blog posts. My day job as an attorney is heating up. We are approaching some deadlines in one case, and discovery is heating up in another. I think a lot of attorneys want to be writers. How you balance one with another is beyond me, yet somehow I manage it.
In the event someone should read this, I wonder if I could ask how you juggle the two. I assume most people in the writer-verse have day jobs, as very few people can live off writing alone. I have to write to keep me sane from my day job. Being an attorney can drive you crazy. Dealing with opposing counsel can be frustrating, especially when they take absurd positions for no reason other than delay.
I think that’s what drives me nuts so much about law. When your clients has bad news coming, you seek to procrastinate. I am a dedicated anti-procrastinator. Putting things off constantly drives me batty. It’s the same reason I critique short stories for Critters the first day possible. I want to get it out of the way.
Anyway, blogging might be sporadic, but then again, being busy hasn’t stopped me before.
