I don’t know how people do this.
By “people” I mean writers who aren’t John Grisham or Lee Child or James Patterson or Stephen King, i.e., multi-millionaire best-selling authors whose work constantly gets adapted into movies and TV shows. Those guys are loaded and thus able to do nothing but write all day - when they’re not sleeping on top of piles of money surrounded by many beautiful ladies (shouts to Rainer Wolfcastle).
(Please note that I initially included prolific female writers like Nora Roberts and Jodi Piccoult and Danielle Steele but then my Rainer Wolfcastle quote would not have quite worked so I was forced to exclude and discriminate please speak to my lawyer).
The rest of us have day jobs (and then some). Unless you throw me a little dough via the button below and help me escape the drudgery! I love you in advance.
