Today, my younger daughter got angry at me for writing, for not spending quality time with her.
She's upset with me for spending too much time writing and writing related activities. She's tired of me spending time on the computer and talking about books and my writing.
I'm stressed. I need to spend quality time with my family. I also need to finish a cover art request form, a revision, and interviews. Plus we depend on the extra income I earn from writing so I need to spend some time writing.
My husband just bought "2012" and popped it into the TV for a riveting Saturday night. The main character of the movie, John Cusak who plays Jackson Curtis, is separated from his wife and family. Why? Because they were tired of him ignoring them while he wrote his book.
I asked my daughter what she wanted to do and she couldn't give me an answer. All she can voice is that she wants my attention away from the computer and books.
Does your family express similar feelings?
