Tina Weaver asked Christine Feehan:

Christine, I’ve read everything you wrote up until 2016 or so when I began writing to publish. What are a couple of writing tips you’ve learned that would apply to plotting more than one book at a time. I work full time so planning time to write can be a challenge I’m sure there are times when the muse is on vacation what do you during that time? Do you force the writing or use the time for other things?

Christine Feehan As a full time professional writer I treat my writing like a business. Yes, I love doing it and I realize I'm blessed to have a career I love so much. But, it's a job. I write every single day. I'm very disciplined about it.
There will always be challenges when you have a long-term career, no matter what that career is. I've had family obligations, tragedies and celebrations that I prioritize over work. My family will always come first.
I can't say I "force" the writing, but sometimes I have to take time to re-group. Sometimes it's a chore to go to work. But, I do go to work.
