I really admire those writers who do it all. 2-4 books a year, family, favorite causes. Where do they find all the time? Do these women sleep?
If I don't get 7-9 hours of sleep a night, I'm not fit for shooting. Let alone writing. But some authors seem to thrive on it. Their work doesn't seem to suffer, their families seem happy, their favorite cause is glad to have them around. Something has to give.
Maybe they are speed writers. Or don't need sleep. Either way, I'm really impressed. Just thinking about getting published where you are expected to write 2 books a year is already giving me the jitters. I don't want to be one of those people who are so busy doing things that I have no time to myself. I have a great need to have alone time.
What about you? Are you Superwoman or Time-Alone Woman? Do you like what you are, or wish you belonged in the other camp?
can we wear one of these at conference? 'Cause that would be AWESOME!
For Christie!
hahahahahaha

I really admire those who can write that many books a year and still keep everything else in their lives running along. I hope to get to that point some day.
This has been a difficult year with family, work and health issues. I find that I have to grab time whenever I can find it. Lunch break, doctor's office or if I'm lucky a couple of hours before bedtime. My dream is to someday write full time.
I think I'm both. I don't know if it was the Six Sigma training I had at one of my jobs or because I'm just a pretty disciplined person, but I usually go from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. I do need my alone time though. But, in my alone time I am always writing. All other hobbies take a back burner if there's a story in my head.
