In my case, it's a matter of identity -- it's the name I went by for the first twenty-three years of my life, and I've gotten attached to it. I might be my husband's wife, but I'm also my mom and dad's daughter. I was fine with changing my name when I got married, since I told my husband (and he accepted) that any art and writing projects would be under my maiden name.
But enough of that. First, I need to get some work out there, and to do that I need to work. I'm looking forward to using NaNo as a test to see exactly how much BIC time I can squeeze in. So far, though, impatience is spilling over and so I've got several other projects on the burners that I'm trying to tend to. It's not easy -- I have a six month old, and right now he's got a teething-and-cold doubleheader.
Uncle Jim -- or anyone else -- do you have recommendations for trying to squeeze writing time in between domestic demands, other than just winging it? (Evenings are better than mornings, but I shouldn't be cutting into my sleep like that. It takes me long enough to fall asleep as it is, and my morning starts when my son wakes up.)
