My friend, Shawndra of Living Mindfully, has an excellent set-up--No kids to distract from writing, a clutter-free home, and a bright writing nook with lots of nice windows looking out on a wooded lot.
I imagine sometimes that if I had such a situation that I would be free to write all day long. If I wasn't limited to writing only during the one hour that all three kids nap or if I didn't feel guilty writing while my house looks like Cookie Monster went on a rampage spewing crumbs and toys in his wake, I envision that I would have volumes of books put on paper. But the truth is, I need those pressures to keep me going. It would be nice if I had less clutter or more time to write, but I have my own situation which has its own benefits.

OK, jeez, now I'm feeling like a major slacker for finding so many excuses not to write. (And what's *my* excuse for not knowing more than the vaguest fact about Amy Winehouse?)
Thanks for the shout-out Carol! Your blog rocks. (If they still say that.)
