Someday I would love to be a full-time writer, but for right now, I have a 50-60 hour a week day job that requires my attention so that annoyances like bills, mortgage payments, and insurance can be provided for. I’ve written and published ten books in the past five years while satisfying the demands of my day job. People always ask me how I do this, so here are some tips to help others that might be in this same predicament. I will expand on each of these within this post:

1. Think about your writing during every minute that you have available

7. Work on multiple writing projects simultaneously
8. Outsource your marketing/advertising
9. Automate your social media campaign
