There are times of the year that are worse than others. I work in higher education, so my crunch times are August and late December/early January. Add in my love for vegetable gardening and the need to preserve all that summer goodness for winter, and suddenly, I am about 50 hours short in a day.

I, too, grab writing time when I can, but it sure is hard to find a balance in there somewhere!

Hi Miriam,

thanks so much for leaving a comment. I’m really glad you enjoyed the post. That’s what writing is about I think – making a connection with a reader, writing something that resonates with them…

Good luck with your book. Yes, we’ll both keeping going and living the dream 🙂

All the best, Nikki x

Remember dreams do come true- Keep putting it out there to write full time- Big thank you

Hi Heidi,

Only just seen your comment – sorry.

Wow – that sounds amazing! I wish my day job took me to such gorgeous places…

Great news about your debut and good luck with the sequel, I hope it does really well.

The covers on the wall keep me motivated, but after checking out your pinterest wall, I’m inspired to do similar with posters of the #LoveLondon covers – it all looks fab and is a brilliant idea.

Keep writing, Nikki x

Thank you.
Jane Harris

I lead travel tours. Next week, I will be leading a tour through the Hawaiian Islands. I have spent more than 100 days in Cuba, bungee jumped in New Zealand, and will be going to Greece, Italy, and Australia later this year. It is 24/7 work while I’m on tour, but provides the needed “only writing” time when I return. Last September, I released my debut, When All Balls Drop. This September the sequel will be out, With New Eyes.

BTW, I loved your cover wall. I have something similar but with pictures of where readers have enjoyed When All Balls Drop. See this pinterest link: https://www.pinterest.com/heidisiefkas/when-all-balls-drop-spotted/

It’s a delicate balance juggling everything but if you’re passionate enough about something and don’t mind hard work, I think you’ll find a way to do it. I couldn’t imagine not writing. Even if I wasn’t published, I’d still do it just for the sheer pleasure it gives me.

I was impressed with all the book covers on the wall too – excellent idea for keeping motivated and organised.
It certainly sounds as though you’re juggling the whole shebang with work, family, writing etc… which just shows it really can be done.
Where there’s a will… Good luck with your new novel and thanks for sharing! 🙂
