More specifically for those of a creative ilk.
I have been told by many people including a literary agent that I am a talented author. I have been writing on and off for about 7 years and have been working on something that has been praised a lot.
Ultimately though I am not getting very far with it. Working full time (50+ hours) having a missus, a baby and a widely spread network of friends I struggle to find time.
So has anyone been in similar circumstances? What has been your motivation and how did you push through it?
I enjoy it and tell myself to finish it and the work grind would (hopefully) be over and I could enjoy life and generally things would be good
even then at 10-11pm when I'm knacked, have to be up in 7 hours and all the rest I struggle to get going.
So, anyone got any wise words or prior experiences of this who can help me?
Thanks
