QUOTE : If I wanted to be a writer, I had to stop treating it like a hobby. I needed to treat it like a career. A serious career. I returned home with a new motto and a clear focus. I made up a calendar and booked certain evenings where I would write and my husband would take care of dinner and the kids. I began plotting where I could find more time. I decided to dedicate my lunch hour for writing. I brainstormed during my commute. I went back into my office to my unfinished manuscript, deleted an entire chapter, and just started writing. I had no more time for writer’s block. I was on a mission.
