Oh, I can so identify with this post. As a teacher and a writer, there’s almost always something I *should* be doing, and I, too, miss having interests that are not a part of my jobs, even though I very much enjoy my work. Reading a book that isn’t for novel research or a unit I’m planning is one of my biggest sources of guilt! You may not be able to do all of your hobbies, but it sure does help with overall happiness to be able to sneak one or two in now and then. At least you’ve got your running, right? :)

Good luck! I loved it and know it will one day soon find a home and be loved by many. Never forget you’re a great writer! :)

Still working on it, although I haven’t had the time to devote as much work as I want to in it. :) Sending it out to agents soon. Maybe. Someday.

haha, when I finish my next school program I’ll be looking for an assistant position in publishing, hopefully the good will outweigh the bad!

I’ve been meaning to ask, how is Elijah’s Chariot doing? Is it still in the works?

Yeah, I feel like there are certain jobs/industries you’re more likely to take home with you, and pretty much anything related to publishing falls into that category. I feel like I almost never shut my writing down. And I happen to like that, but I can see how some people would not.
