Rusty writing and parent authors

Was tough to get writing again after such a long break. I realised again today how important it is for me to write everyday, to keep up the momentum. My writing was very rusty. I also struggled with my confidence, worrying over the story, my choice of words and the structure more than usual. Only managed 1350 words but not a bad start I suppose, I'm hoping that I've broken the first-day-back block and tomorrow I'll fly through 2000 words.

Still arguing with the builders over the snags to the common areas - I have two meetings with them tomorrow, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It sounds like an excuse even to my ears, but I do struggle to write if I don't have a clear few hours run at it; it's easier to start writing after breakfast or after lunch, blissfully unaware of any interruptions ahead. I have the utmost respect for authors who have kids, and who can only snatch time to write during naps and babysitting visits. I don't know how you do it!
