Need Some Balance?
Here’s the deal. We just got home from a softball game, and now I have to do some child-nurturing and get myself to bed too. And I’m sending you elsewhere to read about balance, so that I can balance myself.
Actually, I’m suddenly wondering whether balance is really a good metaphor for life after all. I’ll have to think about that more.
But for now, here you go:
Author Christina Katz (The Writer Mama) recommends A Lovely Little Book About Claiming the Physical, Mental, and Emotional Space You Need to Write. Christina also has a new ebook out, Author Mama.
Debbie Ridpath Ohi interviewed Katz earlier this year on Time Management For Writers.
Fellow Portlander Katy Wolk-Stanley recently noted that control is an illusion.
And here’s a post from Zen Habits on The Lost Art of Solitude.
Good night!

If there’s a tightrope involved, I’d say balance is a FANTASTIC metaphor for life.

But I don’t want to be on a tightrope any more. I want to reject the tightrope and find a better way.

I want solid footing, too. Where do we even look for that?

Thank you for these resources! I feel like a lot of people are struggling with finding balance right now and it’s awesome to be able to come together and share what’s working for each of us
