I want to write, I have a deadline, but life is getting in the way. I'm sure everyone has that problem! I'm not alone. I just wish I could lock myself away for a few days...weeks? Instead I seem to be pulled in a dozen different directions and there isn't really much I can do about it.

My mother is elderly and I am her main go-to-person, and I have children who although grown up and flown still have their moments, and I have a grandson who I need to see as often as possible. So he doesn't forget who I am. Or ask: Who is that strange old lady who never leaves the computer? That would be sad.

I suppose, like everyone else, I just do the best I can. I fit in my writing among all the other things and hope it adds up to a book.

Having said that, I am halfway into my new novella for the Mockingbird Square series. I know soon I will have to stop and start work on my other projects, but I'm hoping to finish this first. This is the story of Rory and Olivia Maclean who live at Number 7 and married in haste and seem to be repeating in haste too. When Rory leaves for his falling down castle in Scotland his wife decides to go too.

I'm not sure what happens after that but I'm looking forward to finding out!
