It seems there is always something that can keep me from writing, whether its appliances breaking, being constantly on call with my "day" job, fights with my significant other, or just the general duties of home-ownership and life.
Every day there are challenges, and every day I fight them for a few minutes to myself to write, blog, and essentially attempt to kick-start my career as an author... At least an author paid better than what I have been making.
People don't get it. You say you need time to dedicate to your career and they say "oh I thought you were already working for _____..." There is a difference between a job and a career. There is a difference between being paid for a 9-5 and for a career that you live, breathe, and think.
Its also amazing how you can find time to think about your career when you make it a significant portion of your life. How you can think about the next plotline, the next character, the next scene while doing dishes, driving in the car, or laying in bed.
