people often ask me how I write with four children.
More often than not, my stories are pieced together, written, and edited in a series of 36 moments. If I’m working while the kids are home, I have the added 37 of tuning out their chaos. I’ll write and write until I fall under a spell(着迷), and just when I was getting 38 , it happens—Camille will 39 into my office wearing a big smile—and a smelling diaper (尿布).
I wish I had a daily 40 , a solid time no one can interrupt, but I don’t. I may go days or even weeks without writing. I hate these 41 , but much as I like to believe the world needs my writing, my daughters need me much more. So for now I write when I can. While this arrangement works, I sometimes 42 how productive I’d be if my life wasn’t stop-and-go. With time on my side, I could be a writing machine, 43 at once what would normally take me months.
This leads me to a question I find 44 to all parents: Do kids hold back or 45 our dreams? Children are needy by nature, and regardless of how much 46 we show them, they want more. By the time we tend to them, we’re tired out—and 47 in the mood to follow our dream. They push our personal pleasures 48 and slow us down, making tortoises out of hares.
On the other hand, children add a richness to our lives that I believe inspires better work, thus 49 for time we lose. As a writer, I don’t find inspiration sitting at my computer. 50 , I find it when I’m out living, and the 51 I take because of my children—going to the ballpark, birthday parties, even doctor visits—put me in 52 with people who constantly set off new ideas. Many ideas arise through 53 conversation, which can 54 me like thunder. Immediately, I’ll make a mental note, knowing that someday I’ll use that 55 in a story.
