But I remain hopeful. My question is, I want and need to write, but the trials of life and work keep getting in the way. I try to write at work but get interrupted (I am a cab driver and have some periods where I can scribble down a few words), and at home I have interruptions too. It scares me that my time as a writer could well pass me by, I sometimes get frustrated at myself for not making more time to write, it also scares me that I make this more of a chore than a hobby. How do I find that balance again? Any tips would be greatly appreciated Thanks for reading Jim Gilbert Hi, I myself have completed two novels, neither of which have been published yet.
