Like you I'm stuck on my novel project - 30,000 and holding. At this point I no longer have a clue what to do with the story. It's exasperating. I gave up all but a few hours a week on tv, cut back my internet time, and even gave up my reading time in order to write. I'm at the point now where I'm just ready to put the book aside, pull a few books off my shelf and take a nice mental break. Hopefully that will help. I’ve given up my sanity apparently.

With two kids, it's hard to get much of anything done. Like you, I've given up my television at night so I can read. It's been awesome. I'm able to get an extra hour of reading in each night. We have to find all those things that we can live without, and replace them with writing activities. Television - gone. Bars - gone. Read while in the bathroom. Read while working out. Write in the car. Write on the phone. Good luck to you. I understand how you feel. With two kids, it’s hard to get much of anything done. Like you, I’ve given up my television at night so I can read.
