It's a Full Time Gig

Step away from the laptop, please!

So, I have been writing my first novel for about 2 months now. In addition to writing I have a full time job and a family. As you can probably imagine, I am stretched a little thin.

In the beginning, the words were flying on to the pages just as fast as I could type them. I was so excited, as were my friends and family, that I spent every available second writing.

Flash forward 2 months and the whole thing is getting old to the people around me. Obligations have been piling up and my husband is no longer content to keep my son busy all night by himself.

Don't get me wrong, I have loads of support from the people in my life, it just isn't so easy these days to get away with "I'm sorry, I can't, I really need to get this chapter done." After 2 months, of the same excuse, people want to see some results.

Of course, I have over 50,000 words written, but in this 30 minutes or less world, people expect to see a finished, printed book. Not an unedited word doc.
