I imagine most first novels are written by people who are holding down full-time jobs (and second novels, and third novels.) And I know that I am lucky to have a job that doesn’t exhaust me – I’ve had times in my career where I was incapable of using the evening hours for anything other than trying to keep up with my work or recovering from work. This isn’t one of those times.
But I’m constantly having to stop when I’m not ready to stop.
Like now, I need to sleep, or I’ll struggle with the job that pays the bills tomorrow… So apparently I just came to whine and post the word count – 46,074.
