I love to write. Given that I’ve published five novels, that point should be obvious. However, what I’ve discovered is that just finding time to write is difficult.
As some of you know, I spent 24 years in the Army. Now you may ask how I found time to write
several novels while in the military, and the answer is pretty simple – when
you’re not doing combat related stuff on deployment, you have almost nothing
else to do with what little free time you have beyond eating and sleeping. There are no games to go to, no kids’ plays
to attend, and no road trips to take. I
could’ve sat around and stared at the ceiling of whatever building I was housed
in, or I could take time to write a few words.
Back in the real world, on the other hand, there are lots
of distractions. My appreciation for
those who have full time jobs and still manage to write new stuff has grown
considerably. My new pace for publishing
is likely to slow considerably, and I wasn’t publishing at a blistering pace to
begin with. So if y’all want to see more
of my work on a more regular/faster basis, then help put me in a financial
position to do this full time. 😜
