My pleasure, and welcome aboard. I will be adding your blog to my blog roll next week when I get home from vacation.

Eric

I stumbled across you in a mad fit of Civil-War-related googling and hope you don’t mind me pulling up a virtual easy chair. I’m an amateur wanderer of battlefields who also has dogs rather than kids. Thank you for sharing this piece of yourself along with all the research and effort you put into the blog.

You are describing me perfectly. While I am not a lawyer, I have much restless energy that allows me to focus on the project at hand – be it a blog article or a project at my real job. When I get into my writing mode, I check out of the real world and enter the topic I am researching. Once I’m done with the research, the words flow freely – sometimes too freely making the article too long. I really appreciate you sharing this with your blog readers as it hit home for me. Thank you for your hard work.

Keep up the good work, Eric.

Remember, most all the great writers were a bit whacked.

Thank you for sharing how your research and writing fits into your life. I agree that having a loving and supportive wife is key to being a happy and productive writer! I have a full-time job, but I really enjoy the few hours at night when I’m able to work on my writing projects. My kids are still at the age when they want Dad around–which is a great thing and I enjoy spending time with them. I used to really feel guilty when they were younger and I wanted to steal a few hours away to read and write (they’re only young once, I would remind myself). It’s still a balancing act, but I enjoy writing as often as I can.
