I Am Writing a Novel

My novels seem to be taking forever to complete.
I usually feel so mentally exhausted from work, and my weekends are often packed with activities and family visits, that I rarely feel like writing anymore :/
And when I do have time, then I have no inspiration ;p
*Sigh* combining work with hobbies can be difficult.

My first novel took me seven years to finish the first draft. My second took two months for the first draft, but then 15+ years for the next four.

For most of us, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

@DunningKruger Thanks for sharing that, now I feel less bad about how it turns out to be a +4y project by now ^^
