Jennifer, yes, it is difficult to balance, especially if you don't have parental support (my character Layla is quite isolated, as her parents figure out their own problems). And I've only just discovered the word 'pantser'! I hope you enjoy the book. I hope to get more writing done soon!Kirsten Krauthhttp://www.wildcolonialgirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298285839662148339.post-42606603378190369082013-10-15T03:55:44.045+11:002013-10-15T03:55:44.045+11:00Loved meeting another pantser!

Sorry about only one day a week to write, but I'm there with you. I grab a few minutes here and there and try to make sense of all I get down in a connected few hours. Good luck. The book sounds great.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298285839662148339.post-25311652156720028652013-10-14T12:33:54.108+11:002013-10-14T12:33:54.108+11:00I think it's tough for kids to balance school ...I think it's tough for kids to balance school and friends. I am a teacher now and we tend to think that school is just about the learning and everything else is getting in the way. But then I remember myself in high school and think about the fights with my boyfriend, the freeze-outs with my friends, the blow-ups with my family . . . . all of that seemed just as pressing as school work at the time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01662228536461426198noreply@blogger.com
