Balancing My Studies and Writing

So here's a fun fact about me: I am a medical student. Yes, this fantasy author who tells stories about action and adventure is going to be a licenced medical doctor in a couple more years. And any medical student have a hard time balancing their studies and their social life. So me putting an additional carreer there by writing a kindle fantasy book, I'm basically committing suicide. Or so they say.I like to take it up as a challenge both academically and creatively. My fiction writing shouldn't be a stumbling block for my studies while my studies shouldn't stop me from doing what I love. So how do I balance my studies and book writing? Simple. Strict time management.For every 8 hours I spent studying, I will spend 1 hour doing all the book stuff. That includes writing, creating the fantasy world, history and lore, editing my novel, marketing on amazon, blogging and so on. Then whatever's left of my day, I'd fill it up with my social and leisure needs. Yes, it is simple, but not at all easy to keep.I had many days when I should be studying but I end up writing. Then there are days when I was free to write my novel but I was preoccupied to attend to social needs. It's tough having more than one passion. But I try to keep things as balanced as possible so that I can enjoy the best of both worlds.
