finding the time to write or writers block

It's a challenge either way. It's hard finding the time to write when your head is spinning with the normal running of a household. I'm a one man band. I do 99 percent of the shopping, all of the cooking and most of the washing up. My husband works a midnight shift so he sleeps most of the day and unfortunately is pretty useless during the day. There are not enough hours in my day.

I also home school my grandson which I love to do. He's in the 9th grade and doing extremely well. We do butt heads sometimes but he is a teenager, so I have to accept that.

As for writers block. I get distracted as I did this morning that's why I'm writing this instead of writing my book. I played around with the cover and changed the title again. Third time changing the title. Probably the fifth time I've played with the cover and I've haven't finished the book yet. I do work backwards.

When I go to bed at night I try to come up with the lead to the next chapter and try to remember it in the morning. I remembered it this morning but only got as far as putting the number of the chapter down before my mind took me in another direction. I hate it when that happens.

 I put in the back cover blurb. I might let Chatgbt have a go at it.
