Thanks for the welcome back! :) I've managed to carve out a bit of time each day for writing (short stories) and for writing-related stuff (posting to my LJ, doing critiques, researching markets...). So, I'm hoping to start posting a bit more regularly again.
The problem with drawing the line between needs/wants is that it's fuzzy. I don't _need_ to talk with my friends, but after two years with 90% of my conversations being held with someone under two, I was going batty. I don't _need_ to do my writing, but who I really am gets kind of lost when I neglect it too much. I'm not sure that there really is an easy answer; perhaps it just needs to be an ongoing, dynamic balancing act.
