Ah, yes, I too need the money. Wish I didn't but such is the world in which we live ;) And teachers pay... don't get me started on that. Of all people teachers are the ones who deserve the paycheck we hand to NFL players... The struggle is real.
But I digress...
When I first started making my writing career a priority I was working two jobs with only one day off- if a single mother of three athletic and ever-hungry boys ever actually gets a day off ;) I was leaving at 5:30am & not returning until 10pm. But I still made it a priority because I wanted to be able to stay home with my boys. Took a lot of hard work but I got there :)
But keep going. It will pay off!
Write on my friend. I expect to pick one of your novels off the shelf soon. And I am holding you to that. FYI.
