So, the 4th question is “How do you find the time to write while also working full time and handling family? ”
1) Author #1 : Chloe S. Flanagan
It can be tough, but my best tools are a daily commute and dictation applications for my smartphone. This allows me to record my thoughts and stories while driving.
2) Author #2: Olena Kagui
I am lucky to be one of those rare early birds. I do most of my writing at 5 AM and sometimes even on the subway on my way to work. I always say I’ll write in the evening or on weekends but that rarely happens.

4) Author #4: Victoria Spencer
I work as an archaeologist which means I travel a lot, so I don’t always have the distractions of home life. I don’t have children, but I do take care of my parents who. Honestly, I just make the time. I get up at 5:30 or 6 every morning, write until I have to work or midmorning if it’s a day off. Then I switch to chores and admin stuff.
5) Author #5: Erin Lynne
What works best for me is word count goals. Every Sunday, I set a goal for myself of how many words I need to write that week. It changes based off how hectic my schedule is with my 9-5 job and family time.
6) Author #6: Victoria Grant
This doesn’t apply to me, as I’m truly fortunate to be a full-time author. I wasn’t blessed with children, but I do have nieces, nephews and grand-nieces and grand-nephews who often visit, which I love!
7) Author #7: Marie Lavender
I’m still trying to get a handle on that one! LOL.
8) Author #8: Jennifer Carole Lewis
I’ve often wished for a TARDIS or Time Turner to give me more time during the day. I only get short bursts of time to write (usually while waiting for my kids at a lesson) and have had to experiment to find ways to increase my word counts.
9) Author #9: Amber Daulton
I usually wake up at about seven in the morning and write/edit until about five pm. At the moment, I don’t have children or an out-of-the-house job, so I’m always busy writing. My husband is the cook in the household, so luckily I don’t have to worry about fixing my meals.
10) Author #10: J. Grayland
It was very difficult as I was also doing a bachelor degree and caring for two adults, but the writing gave me so much pleasure and relief from the stress.

12) Author #12: Renata Sterling
It’s definitely a challenge trying to muster up enough energy after a day of work, commuting, and family responsibilities, but I’m working more on setting aside dedicated writing time in my schedule. Even if that includes just twenty to thirty minutes of getting words out on my latest project, every bit matters.
