carving moments when you’re exhausted and nursing a baby. When you rather be watching tv. When you’re stressed. It means prioritizing in a way that keeps you laser focused on the writing goal, even if it feels years and miles away. You do the best you can, and you keep writing. Eventually the words add up, the training adds up, the learning and the reading and sacrifices translate into something real. Tangible. A book. And then you learn that writing was the easiest and best part. 🙃
