Re: Hello
Welcome to the Shelter, Stormy. Unfortunately, there's no simple answer to your question. A friend of mine, Dawn Colclasure collected a series of essays on this subject, most all of which were written by working parent/authors.

[b]BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL: How We Survive as Writing Parents --
http://www.booklocker.com/books/1743.html[/b]

I'm not hawking the book because Dawn is a friend. I think some of the essays reveal some really good strategies for wiriting while surviving the rigors of family and work.

After a few others weigh in with feedback to your question, I'll add my own. (And I do have a little experience with the dilemma *grins* )
