Paint or Write?

Took the photo off, for some reason it was all blurry...?
I feel in touch with life and I feel happy. Not the kind of happy you feel when something good happens, but the kind of happiness that says: My life is great just as it is. And yet. I do have a few concerns. You may have noticed in my profile, that I say I am an artist and a writer. Yet, I never talk about my book. The reason for that is, I have not worked on the book for months. I wrote my book about 9 months ago and have finished it, but it still needs some editing and in the meantime I have decided to rewrite some things. The trouble is I want to paint. I want to work on art right now and the book is hovering around my head like a bee. Just buzzing around. Won't let me alone. Some of that is because it is so close to being done, I would like to say finished, finally. What is the book about, you may or may not be wondering? It is a small little book I wrote about my spiritual practices of the last 30 years.
Most of my friends and family think it is a good book and I think it has a chance to make it out there in the world. So living in the moment wants me to paint and finish the book later. The book wants to be done now :-). I want the book done now. I am trying to figure out how to do both with limited time. I have never been very good at doing the art and writing. I tend to really focus when I work and that does not leave any room for other things,so I write for a few months, than I paint for a few. Anyone out there have any advice? Thanks. Have a wonderful Tuesday night.

I would guess that you will have to stay up until 2am every night to work on it, but that might not be a good idea.

I hope it's finished soon though. I'd love to read it.
