Balance… Is it a myth?
Hi everyone!
I’m blessed to have a second interview today with an awesome company and I couldn’t be more excited about building a career with. However, I’m a writer. I’m a story builder. And, I have a life outside of writing too. So, the question is how will I write, market, have a career and have a personal life–whatever that is. It remains a mystery.
The answer: Balance.

There are many things I didn’t plan for when I sat down over three years ago to write my novel and there are many expectations that I shouldn’t have had.
