I’m often asked–and, indeed, I often ask myself!–how do I work full-time AND also a) write an ongoing book series (Blood Brute, check it out *finger guns), b) work a legal job where diligence and accuracy are key, c) run the #indie #publishing and #marketing side of said book series, d) also keep up with everything else in life.
Well, I’ve no universal answers, but I know what works for me:
- One day a week, do not get dressed. AT ALL. You need to slum it right and proper.
- Mon-Fri, prepare yourself to face the world like a functioning person: shower, hair, make-up. Pants. As the #flylady would say, dress all the way down to lace-up sneakers.
- When you’re working, work. When you’re writing, write. Give everything the space, time, and focus each demands. Don’t ever try to shortchange any of your spinning plates. Discipline is a fantastic tension-release.
