However, I believe that all writer's struggle with finding time to write. And, I can't think of any of my friends who are writers who like to promote--which is an integral part of the process. Great post.

The part that was driven into me was if someone has a regular 9-5 job and life happens, they still have to report to work and keep working. that's what I'm going to work on harder this year. Getting my husband and family to understand this is my 9-5 job, not something I do for fun.

And after this conference I've set some heavy goals this coming year... I want to make a living and I'll buckle down to get it done.

I'm making lists this morning of what to tackle first and brewing the next the story. Thanks for stopping by!

As you said, that's not possible if we want to earn a living. I do!
