It can be very hectic! I am usually working on two books at once (one fiction, one non-fiction) that way when I get writers block, I can switch over and do research. I love getting lost in the story as I am writing it! I typically spend 1 hour writing fiction (unless I am on a good pace than I will write longer) and then I switch over to non-fiction. I alternate that with running my Podcast.
Yes! I appreciate my readers so much! I view the bad reviews as constructive criticism. I sometimes will go back into a book and make edits to further enhance the book; I also use that criticism toward the next book I am writing. The bad reviews help me grow as a writer. The good reviews just make me smile and feel proud of my work! Keep them coming! I am so grateful!
