When life happens around your writing

I am part of an amazing family, both blood and in-laws. The last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic because my eldest sister-in-law is in the middle of a divorce and having to move from her house. I’m sure she doesn’t appreciate me  broadcasting this on my blog but I owe it to you guys to explain why I haven’t been able to write as much. I love my sister-in-law very much and I will do anything to help her. I tend to forget sometimes that life happens outside of my writing so that is why when I initially set my plan, stuff like this didn’t factor in. However, I know that they would do anything for me, so I am sure as hell going to do anything for them.

On the down side, I feel like I am really starting to lose hold of my book. I felt that I could conquer this and make it my literary bitch but now it is starting to seem like that is slipping further and further away. I haven’t been able to commit a whole day of writing since last week and with the whole Chapter 4 fiasco I feel like I seriously messed up. However, starting tomorrow (since today is going to be about cleaning up the blog and networking) I am going to pick up where I left off and at least get through Chapter 12.

Do you guys have moments like that?  Where you are all for writing everyday and then life happens?
