Over the Shock and GALing 4

[Thinker]

But sitting down at home and writing? It's up to her, not you. Sorry, but that's the way it goes in our world. If she can't hack it, then that's on her. But this is one of those times when you need to draw a clear and inviolable boundary.

I have noticed, and get bitter about, the fact that she seems to find plenty of time to meet for coffee with her girlfriends, but can't find time to write. This has been a point of contention between us for years - she complains about not having time to do something, but refuses to give up any of her social life.

(But then, I'm the opposite. I give up my social life to work on projects, and then get frustrated that I don't have a social life...)

Not sure how to "draw a clear and inviolate boundary" - "Sorry, but you're responsible for the kids during the day so suck it up and write at night"??

If you give up your progress, you're heading back to Square One. And since, Blithe, you're already dead -- what's the point in that?

I figured that one out myself.
