I've been in your shoes...
When I first started out I was working full time and had two little kids. I got up every morning at 5am to write before starting my day and it was exhausting. I wasted a lot of time on things that I didn't need to do, classes that didn't really help, and books that never got to the point, but you know what? Over the course of a decade, I gradually figured out a lot of things.
I finished the book. I found an agent. I wrote a second (far more complex) novel in a fraction of the time it took me to write the first. A short story I wrote was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. My first novel won the WILLA Award for Women Writing the West.
Everything is different now. I've trained myself to engage, at will, in a deep state of focus that helps me to be super creative and productive. Writing is still challenging, but in a fun way. I absolutely love what I do and I've made it my mission to help other writers land in the same place - in far less time. Give me six months and I will make you a writer.
