Curt Locklear asked J.D. Barker:

Hello, J.D. What has been your biggest challenge in writing your books?

J.D. Barker Juggling work and family has always been a struggle for me. As an Aspie, I'm a workaholic. Now that I write full-time, I could easily lock myself in my office for all waking hours and do nothing but generate words. My wife and I have set time limits. I start at 8am and write no later than 3pm. I head out for a run after that to think about the next day's work and relax, then the rest of the day goes to my family. Weekends we make it a point to do things together. Churning out a lot of books is great, having a fan-base willing to read them is even better, but nothing trumps family.
