My Crazy Life
So is it true that women are better multitaskers than men? I know men who can get sidetracked by a beer commercial, a nice set of breasts . . . totally lose focus. So maybe, I don't know.
And is multitasking the key to my writing career? Or is it just a sign of my crazy life?
All I know is I somehow manage to write four books a year, deal with children from infancy to age 15, endless phone calls, reviewing galleys, running a household, remembering where child number two's science fair project is, scheduling four children and one significant other, which is the logistical equivalent of trying to stage a rocket launch to Mars . . . and somehow, someway, find it in me to be creative with baby puke on my shirt. Note: I am in the second shirt of the day and it's only 10:16 a.m.
So is it multitasking or insanity?
Either way, it's my crazy life.
And I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Erica, your days sound wonderful, crazy, full AND fulfilling. Way to go, girl! Looking forward to reading "Golden Girl" soon! It's in the TBR pile. :-)
Thanks, MP!
There are days I hate it. Last night, I swear, I looked my six-month-old baby in the eyes and asked, "DID HEMINGWAY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE DISTRACTIONS?" Then he smiled and I was okay again. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I just love the ride.
