I've been writing since I was a child, mostly for fun. Wrote a column in a newspaper for fifteen years and then wrote the novels in the Ellie McLellan series because I couldn't find this type of book. I wrote what I wanted to read!
Pace yourself. You're not in a race with anyone but yourself. If you can get the process organized to a timeframe that fits you, awesome. If not, just keep going. One page at a time. And for heaven's sake, enjoy yourself!!!
