[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5341018, member: 177"] Well, Jack, I'm sorry to say it, but you do come off sounding like... well, the sort of over-achiever that makes people jealous. I mean that as a compliment. Most of us aren't writers - we don't get to organize out time the way we want it. A typical day for most of us is, "Get up, get out of the house, get to work, work, get home," so that it isn't until 6 PM or later when we have much choice at all about what we're spending time on. And, in that 6 PM to midnight slot (more like 11 PM, if you want 8 hours of sleep), you also have to do all the stuff that keeps your life together -cooking, cleaning, laundry, and all that jazz. If you have kids, they are taking chunks of that time, too. No matter how much we want to be so fully rounded, many of us don't seem to have it as a real option. Our lives aren't so flexible.
