About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

Time Management for Writing
PROMPT: Have you ever put off anything important because you were writing? How serious is your WDC addiction?
============
My WdC addiction is such that, even in the busiest of days, I check in or rather peek in at least three times or so.
And, have I ever put off anything important because I was writing? Let me count the ways. 
The first thing to go, usually, is the housework. I used to like a clean orderly house, but forget it, even though I am retired now. If I have something to write, writing is the first priority. The ironing I cut down to minimal, and with the cooking, I always invent shortcuts even if I don’t know them...with questionable results sometimes, but what the heck!
I also do not take phone calls, which I don’t like to talk on the phone anyhow, and I don’t write letters to friends to be sent by snail mail, which I used to do way back when. It is usually the FB messages or rarely e-mail, nowadays.
And once, because I was doing the NaNo that year, I made my husband cancel a trip in November; instead, we went earlier, in September. It worked just fine. The weather was milder, to begin with.
Only with writing in this blog, although the writing doesn’t take more than a few minutes, I make the writing fit inside my everyday life, which explains why, sometimes, I post two to three days answers altogether in one blog entry. The bottom line is it gets done one way or another.
