Good that you've figure out what works for you. A schedule is great but can be confining. Balance is key.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-63241091428725502102021-04-09T07:11:08.812-07:002021-04-09T07:11:08.812-07:00After I lost my job, I figured I'd have a lot ...After I lost my job, I figured I'd have a lot more time for writing, but it never quite translated to as much time as I thought it would. And then when Covid hit, my productivity really dropped off. I definitely need a schedule to keep me writing at the rate I should be writing, so I hear you about building balance. It's what I'n trying to do now. Godd luck with your writing.Chemist Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738272332470397248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-48941054284630456342021-04-07T10:38:34.438-07:002021-04-07T10:38:34.438-07:00I agree in a way it does.

Totally agree on the space opera, I doze off as soon as an author gets too deep in jargon. Some folks love it--me, not so much ;)Marie Andreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422636765580836358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-14629838198354960202021-04-07T09:49:13.366-07:002021-04-07T09:49:13.366-07:00I think being an outlier for the sub-genres you wr...I think being an outlier for the sub-genres you write in shows risk-taking, for sure. The kind of space opera you write sounds like it's right up my alley. Too much jargon and too much military stuff puts me off.Ellen Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284851532400039655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-8152036186320909202021-04-07T09:10:37.594-07:002021-04-07T09:10:37.594-07:00Thank you!
