Woes of a part-time author

When you have to work a day job to make ends meet, all you want is to disappear into the worlds you create; it can be frustrating. I like what I do for a living, but I love writing - it is my calling.

I've always wanted to write full-time, but I only recently started writing and working towards that aspiration. The first year I started working towards this goal, I wrote 3 books in six months. One thing I find when I start is that the words flow freely as if they have been bottled up inside me for years waiting to come out. I have learned, however, that if I work full time and write that much, my husband gets a bit grouchy as I leave no time for him or our kids. So balance is key.

My dream is still to write full-time from a small home in Norway with the view of the Fjords. This will happen; I'm determined. It is just a matter of how long it will take me to get there.
