But really the key thing here or the key takeaway is that taking your writing seriously isn't selfish.
podcast-host
It's part of what finishing a book actually takes.
podcast-host
And if you are someone with kids at home, I always like to think about, you know, how cool is it for your kid or kids to see their parent
podcast-host
Going after one of their big dreams, right?
podcast-host
I think that's really special.
podcast-host
And you can even include them a little bit in what your dream is, what kind of book you're writing, why you're doing it, and things like that.
podcast-host
Because I've seen some of the writers in my notes to novel course do this.

podcast-host
But remember that slow isn't the same as impossible.
podcast-host
And just to give you a little bit of inspiration before I let you go today, I want to tell you about.
podcast-host
About Maddie, a mom of four, who wrote her novel mostly during early morning sessions before the house woke up.
podcast-host
I'm gonna link to Maddie's story in the show notes, but hers is one of my favorites because she had a new baby arrive right in the middle of working on her first draft.
podcast-host
So she had to step away for I think it was over a year, maybe a year and a half, while she was raising her newborn and her other children.
podcast-host
And so she was legitimately pulled away from her manuscript for.
