I had originally planned to finish my interview with Patches this weekend, before finishing off the final draft of 'Beyond the Edge'. Friday morning started off with no plans for the whole day, so I figured I could relax for an hour or so before knuckling down. Next thing I know, I'm babysitting my 18 month old nephew for most of the day, while his mom is in the emergency room. While the experience did cost me time I'd initially set aside for writing, it did provide some other useful realizations.
I used to tell myself, as a writer, I could work from home once I started a family. Now, I'm not so sure! Turns out, handling kids is a full time job. I've spent time with my niece and nephew (two and four years old), but never for more than a couple hours. Now, I'm wondering if working out of an office might be better, then I could come home and put all my energy into my family, rather than spend every day half-focused on my writing and my kids.
What do you guys think? If you could make a living from a computer, would you rather work from home, or from an office?
I hope you all have a great weekend. Talk to you again next week.
