Writer with a Day Job: Creating Balance between Your Work and Your Writing Life
For most writers, the day job—with the salary
and the health insurance that often goes with it—is as much part of
the writing life as our words on the page. Sure, we all dream of
quitting our day jobs and writing “full time,” but the fact of
the matter is, with the exception of a few best-selling or celebrity
authors, most writers work a day (or night) job. And you know what?
Having a day job to support your writing can be a good thing, so long
as you’re willing to reconsider how you think about your job and
it’s relation to your writerly aspirations. After all, your day job
offers you a pre-structured schedule and the worry-free finances you
need to actually get do your writing—and that’s just the
beginning.
Writer with a Day Job: Creating Balance between Your
Work and Your Writing Life looks at ways in which we can fit regular
writing into our busy days. As parents and/or as 9–5 workers, the
days seem already packed. But The Writer’s Guide to Beating the
Daily Grind will help you to re-examine your schedule to find an
optimal and regular writing slot—a time that works best for you.

Nighttime writing: What works. What doesn't work.
On the commute or on your lunch hour: How to set yourself up for timed writing
