"On Writing" by Stephen King

I'm currently reading "On Writing" by Stephen King. I'm enjoying it very much, although it's taking me forever to finish it. It's the kids, need I say more? The book is part autobiographical and part writing tips. I have it as an e-book on my PDA (downloaded from www.peanutpress.com). I could rant and rave so much about reading ebooks versus physical novels, but I'll just summarize and say that it's a really neat thing for anyone to try.

But oh, how I wish I could set aside long sessions for reading. Instead, because of the needs of the kiddies, I could only spare moments taking in paragraphs. Paragraphs and sentences, mind you. Not even pages. If I ever come across a parent that can average one or two novels a month, I'll ask him or her how they do it, because I certainly can't at this point.

In conclusion, I'd appreciate anyone's wisdom on better personal time management while juggling the responsibilities of 2 toddlers and a baby.

Thanks in advance. :-)
