But if there are already too many fairies, I'll gladly be an elf... but I'll miss the pretty wings. Hugs!

Personal post and a little bit about me.I am not a full time author. I work for the government forty hours a week and it's always a struggle to do the 'life' thing, work my job, and also work my second job: aka writing. I put about 60 hours a week into 'working'.
Someone the other day called it a hobby and I threw a shoe at his head. This much work isn't a hobby.
I wish I made enough income to quit the day job, but the insurance is rocking and you can't turn away from that. I think I made enough money to buy a Kitchen Aid and a Vitamix this year... I cherish my successes.
How are other authors doing it? Are you full time? Happily? Or you scrounging for a hour here, fifteen minutes there to write? Or have you found a good balance?
I know I will never be one of those gets 5+ books out a year type of authors, just no time, but I hope to still build an audience.

Here, use this next time ^_~
I'm a scrounger myself but always have something to write with one me (typically iPhone haha) and tend to sacrifice sleep for stuff I love.
Writing included.

Before September, I think, things suddenly got hectic at work for a couple of months (I'm in tax economics/law) and I had no time for anything fun, which included time for writing and the internet lol. Now, however, I'm a semi-student again for work and have much more free time. Ironically, having more time to write hasn't produced better results than when I was scrounging for time lol.

Thank you! I shall use this next time, and I'm sure, to positive effect.
I know lots of people put tons of time into hobbies, but if I want to make money off it, I think I'll call it my second job. Oooh, my writing career! That sounds sparkly.

Often when my schedule is tightest, I get the most done, I'm more organized and the deadlines mean more.
Tax time is always rough for accountant types. One of my dear friends is an accountant, owns her own business, and during tax time, we give her meals and the like, just to take some of that stress off her.

Ah, shucks! I loves her to pieces, and she's a hard worker. I'm not so nice to just anyone. I treat my friends well!*offers you some cookies*

Nat! Sales for the LGBT romance sub genre has grown by over 200% in 2016. Woohoo. :) http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/insights...

Sweet! LGBT Romance is hot stuff! Steaming! Glad to see there's some validation. Thank you much for the article! Makes you want to sit your butt down in a chair and write write write... I get excited sometimes.

Ah, I only had a shoe on hand. I should keep a brick in my pocket, for such unfortunately instances.

That is great news!
CB, we're in the hot seat. Gotta make more books. (Though you are way ahead of me!)
Mod
Novelettes my good Nat, Novelettes! They are so much fun to write!
I only have 2 full books out, so we are tied.
:D
Mod
Christina gave me the idea to do some and it was such amazing advice that I am passing it on to you now! They can tie into your Wielder World series, either directly or indirectly. Backstories, side character expansion, or original people in the same world!
The best part of the novelettes is that they are promo dandies! (plus easier to give away than your big works)
Actually, my two books out are novellas (~30,000 words each), then I do have a short story in the world (about 6000 words) and a follow up novel that is about 60,000 now, but will probably grow.I had the idea of doing a 'radial' world, where I write a 'main' book introducing the world, people, major plot, then writing lots of novelette type stories in that world that aren't really in any order. That's kinda what you have, right?
I think a side story to give away for WW would be good, that includes the main characters and some smut. Maybe I'll work on that next year. :) Thanks! Good tip!
Mod
I am all about good tips!
Your work sounds pretty awesome Nat, i'll definitely put some of your books on my wishlist.
Calvin wrote: "Your work sounds pretty awesome Nat, i'll definitely put some of your books on my wishlist."Oooh, Calvin. You say the nicest things! I hope you enjoy them!
C.B. wrote: "Nat wrote: "Good tip!"I am all about good tips!"
I have so so so many things I could say, but I won't...
Mod
Probably for the best!
(Whisper them to me)
You should probably keep your thread clean!
(In a private message)
You never know who will show up!
(Or put them on my thread)
Always best to keep things clean!
(Don't ever do that)
I like to spread cocks and penises on Alexis' thread, why not my own! But really, I was just going to point out your lovely and pointy ears. Very attractive tips. That's all.
Mod
Oh good! Will it power you to write more saucy books? *pets your tips* It's always good to feed the authors. I can offer sexy chili too! Or tacos!
Mod
*swoons* TOO CUTE. You know, CB, I'm a total sucker for cute. Pretty soon I'll be throwing you melons and burritos and all the sexy foods.
Mod
Throw me all the sexy foods you have, but be careful! Not even I can handle the sexiest of all foods - Butternut Squash Risotto.
Butternut Squash Risotto.!!!!!!I just go all gooey and weak in the knees over Butternut Squash Risotto!

Hope everyone had an awesome New Years. I'm back in the saddle and am building my 2017 To Read List. I am coming to you, fellow authors and dear fans, to help me add some great books. I prefer fantasy/sci-fi (though I enjoy mysteries and thrillers as well and am open to other genre) and very cool characters. Not so much into books with asshole main characters (I like my good guys to be good and my bad to stay on the opposite side). So, please, Rec Me!
Mod
Promo Promo!Edge of Desperation will be FREE!! on Friday the 13th, along with a ton of other great Indy books. Check them out HERE
Mod
Glad you got it good and hard, CB. I hope it takes you for a good ride. ;) ( Thanks for your support!!)
Hey you smut-heads. Nat, does "Brewing magic" stand for writing!?
It does!! Fantasy writing. I add a bit of pixie dust and dragon bones and elf ear points. Poof! Awesome fantasy smut! Or that's the theory.
Mod
Hi, Nat! Your books sound cool. :) And elves rock!
C.B. wrote: "elf ear points?"Not to mention, elf ears are said to be potent.
