Okay, what I've decided to do is put my own writing on the back burner. Instead of trying to do it every day, I'm going to have to get other stuff done, and then--if I'm not dead on my feet, mentally or otherwise--I'll see if there's any time for my own writing. Play it day by day, no guilt, no stress. I expect to get this audition/sample thing done within two weeks at most, and I expect to be doing some of my own writing during that time. But I'm not going to work all day then feel like I didn't accomplish anything because I didn't get a lot done on my own ms. That's ridiculous.
