Finding time to write as a single mum of two young boys has been difficult (to say the least).
Marco being twelve is relatively independent, but Jack is only four and as a result still demands much of my time.
Actual time Jack is at Kindergarten each week = 17 hours
Now, this sounds like a reasonable amount of time to do my writing, but let's be real and subtract parenting tasks from those hours:
Time to walk Jack to and from Kindergarten = 5 hours
Time to go on Kindy trip to aquarium = 4 hours
Time to wash Jack's sheets that he wet during the night (because in my state of fatigue, I forgot to put a night time nappy on) = 1 hour
This leaves seven hours of free time (as long as I am not tempted to go up the road for a coffee with my good friend Julie, or spend time writing my blog, which I admit I am becoming a little obsessed about).
So here are my excuses for taking so long to finish my book. Better get cracking...
About Me
- Rebekah Tyler
- Grief stricken following the death of my grandmother, I took my two young boys and their competing needs on an eight month adventure around the world. When I returned I began to write a travel memoir revealing the challenges and wonderful events that occurred as I traveled with my sons to Canada, England, France, Spain, Italy and Vietnam. Initially, I thought that I would be able to complete my book in a couple of months (what was I thinking?). In reality, I discovered that writing about my trip was going to take me on another journey - turning my travels into a New York Times Bestseller. This blog records the trials and tribulations of achieving this, whilst raising two demanding boys (yes, I am a dreamer).
