Sometimes

There are times when I look at my books I want to write and just can not see where I have made any headway at all. Times when I consider giving up on writing for a living.

Then I realize - I am writing for a living. I do not have time to work on my novels because I am busy working on the stuff that will pay the bills now.

Does it make me feel better? Not really. I still want to write my novels and get them published, but I also have to keep up the day to day writing that will earn me a semi-steady income so that I can do more mundane stuff, like survive, until I get those novels finished.

I just wish I could sort out more work time on the novels during the day before my wrists begin to hurt from typing all day.
