I feel badly when life gets in the way and I have to spend so much time on my job, and on being a real person in the world, a dasein, that I can't get any writing done, not even anything on the business side, like submissions. Someday, I'd like to say to someone that a few hours of writing, every day, is what I mean when I say that "life got in the way."
You know you're a writer when you've had a great day--a satisfying, if not hectic, 10 hours at your real job; socializing with your better half and a friend for three hours; and, hey!, got the laundry done!--and still feel lousy about not sending out your latest short stories, or working on your novel fragments, or...
And mean it.
Some day.
