Personal challenges while writing?

[Court]

Being a writer isn't always easy. I was having a conversation with a friend about writing and we got on the subject of challenges we have overcome throughout our writing journey. Thought it would be fun to ask yours.

Courtney, I'd say time is my biggest constraint. Trying to balance writing with the usual aspects of life. Balancing the creation of a new novel with the promotion of your last. What's your biggest challenge?

Michaela, I'm with you on the creation of a new novel while promoting the last. Mine's a sequel, and I want to finish it so there isn't such a big gap, but promoting the first one takes so much time. Definitely a challenge.
