I try to write at least a page a day. 250 words. At that rate I'll have several books a year. And UNLIKE Steemit, (ahmmm...) I can keep earning on my work years into the future.
When I realized that my books were actually providing a part-time job income, I realized that going full-time was very very possible. I just need more books out.
A novelist friend of mine from Sweden does the same thing, she sets aside one hour per day to write. She produces two large novels a year this way. She's also a mom, has a small business, and is a pharmacist. There are truly no excuses. I'm releasing two books this year and plan to do this for the foreseeable future. Congratulations on your success @mctiller, I love to hear stories like yours. It's very inspirational!
