@Queen of Trash: Yes, I do. But sometimes it means, for example, that I have a commissioned painting sitting on my easel for FAR too long...

@Wildfire: yeah, I got my submission to an anthology in like 2 days before it was due. I was like running late on it almost. I was like shit, I'm going to have to tell them I'm late.

@Queen of Trash: Yeah, that can't be any fun... but you got it done in time!!

@vengeance: Yes, it certainly can be. Fortunately I can usually bounce between things as I feel like it or as they shift on the list of priorities. Until recently, the kids were the biggest thing. Now that they're older, they are taking on more responsibility and freeing me up to pursue my interests, etc.

@Queen of Trash: Exactly. And good!

@vengeance: There are a lot of reasons. We wanted them to have opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have, mostly...

@Queen of Trash: How long have you been working on it so far? Are you working with an editor and publishing company?

@Wildfire: I started planning it out a couple weeks ago. I have an editor but I'm self published.

@Queen of Trash: Gotcha. How's that turning out for you? It's the path I'm looking at pursuing once my draft is completed (that too has been sitting half done for FAR too long)

@Wildfire: I'm in a lot of indie reading groups on Facebook where I can promote my stuff which helps a lot. It also helps me collect readers so I have some readers who will buy my books whenever they come out.
But it's not as easy to get sales without a publisher because it's all on yourself.
