Tweeting and posting on Facebook seem easier to do when one has a full life. I know this from experience. But I also think writing is easier, too. My day is filled with love and struggles, tears and laughter. It's busy and full and overwhelming at times, but a full house brings lots of material that makes it's way into books.
There are times I wish I could just sit at the computer and write all day, but someone how believe my writing is richer because of the life I live.

I am glad your life is so full and blessed!
Stephen King mentioned the same thing in his book, On Writing. He says that's why he places his desk in the corner of the room and not in the middle.
I find living life while also writing makes writing more human. Just the other day, I was out in the yard doing one of my mundane, lifely chores and BOOM! The opening scene for my latest writing project was right there -- in living color! That wouldn't have happened had I stayed chained to my desk like I really wanted to.
A wise woman told me a long time ago when I told her that I wanted to be a speaker/writer just like her. "While, Kim, you better get busy living a lot of life so that you'll have something to write about." So so true! Thanks, Tricia!
Maybe I should get a shirt like that. "I'm going to write about this later."
