Blogs by Susan Sonnen Plugging Along 11/4/2017 6:42:38 AMI am in the middle of completing my Counseling Psychology graduate degree. At the same time, I am working full time. I am amazed at my ability to do both! So it should come as no surprise that I am struggling to write at this time. Fatigue. Stress. I've taken on a lot and I'm not one of those people who can do everything at once. Grad school and work are almost more than I can handle right now. But when I do have the opportunity, I write a page. A page of memoir, story, whatever. Sometimes I am only able to write a few sentences and then come back to fill up the page over the next few days. That happened recently with a one-act play that I wrote. It is working for me at this point in my life. In fact, it is my lifeboat. Writing keeps me sane.
