this isn't for the feint of heart

seriously, i have so much more respect for writers now. of course, they are getting paid (sometimes, lol) 

but honestly, i think every 5 minutes i go back and forth between quitting and trying to crank out 5k words today. my brain hurts.

  • You are spot on with this!  I don't know that I could do this full time, but I think it would be a little easier to focus if I could "just" write :)
  • So true!!!

  • Thank you for saying that. So many people glamorize the writer's life and I've been told several times how nice it must be to "not work." I write and edit for a living, and not much of one at that. I appreciate it when people realize that it is actually work. I love that NaNoWriMo gives people a taste of that, even if it's for only one month a year.

  • I don't think it'd be any easier if this were my full time job. If anything, I think I'd feel even more pressure to produce a gem. Afterall, if I try to query this novel and no one bites, I still have my income from my day job coming in.
