Hello its Peter here a game from writers

life and today can you really be a

part-time writer when it comes to

writing we all hear those stories of

famous writers you know the ones who are

ate slept and breathed writing those who

would guess over three am shaking with

passion and a fierce unstoppable desire

to write all their thoughts down those

who couldn't think of anything other

than writing who would spend their days

holed up in their study perhaps a quirky

just filled share the bottom of their

garden and not see daylight or eat for

days on end because their work was so

consumed well that might be all well and

good but for most of us the idea of

being a full-time writer is a bit of a

luxury we all know how hard it is to get

published so how much time can we

realistically spend on our writing while

still making sure we have a roof over

our heads

also it's okay not to want writing to be

the only thing you do with your life

writers seem to carry immense amounts of

guilt around with them they beat

themselves up for not doing enough for

not being good enough

in fact often we are so down on

ourselves and put so much pressure on

ourselves it's a wonder we find any joy

in writing at all sure being a good

writer requires dedication and

commitment and discipline there's no

doubt about it but one can be a

part-time writer and still progress

still see targets and still achieve our

writing dreams when did being a writer

mean one has to be bleary-eyed neglects

our friends and families and live on

crusts of bread and water for weeks on

end it's like we have to be ashamed if

we are practically killing ourselves to

achieve our writing goal

there's a myth that unless we are waking

up in the middle of the night and slowly

becoming reclusive in order to write

that we can't possibly be passionate

enough about it or dedicated enough for

it to be a success writers need to give

themselves a break at the end of the day

while it's important to work hard for

what you want in life it's also

important to enjoy the process

so if writing part-time works for you

and allows you to write at your leisure

while also enjoy everything else that

life has to offer

that's fine in fact achieving a balance

between your writing life and your

actual life is healthy and something

which should be encouraged we don't need

to have a sob story we don't need to

cripple ourselves and end up a

stressed-out

exhausted shell of a person to follow

our dreams that's not to say that being

a full time writer couldn't be brilliant

but it needs to be because that's the

right move not born out of some sort of

guilt ridden weird idea that you're not

a real writer unless you dedicate every

inch of your being to it it's essential

for writers to stop and ask ourselves is

this working for me am i enjoying this

writers don't have to be tortured

sleep-deprived soars it's okay and

possible to be a part-time writer and

still be successful it's just that it

may tell you a little longer to get

there that's all and don't forget if

you're struggling to write or finish

your book our free writers tool can help

with it you'll learn how to overcome

procrastination get organized

stay focused fine times are right and
