Many writers still have to manage the day job, as well as find time to write. Plenty of successful authors, at least started out in this position, if they are not still in it,  to some degree.

I have written  a short blogpost on the problem and am inviting writers to share their experiences/knowledge of juggling the diverse demands (either currently or in the past).

Allegedly the shortest correspondence on record is between Hugo and his

Thanks, Susan, for inviting me to be your friend. I, too, found the site via RISI forums and like Natalie, haven't had time to look around the site yet. No doubt that I will find time to do so over the next day or two. Who was it that said that when I retired I would have time on my hands, don't know how I ever had time to go to work!
