Thank you!<\/p>\n<h4>Walking the Tightrope of a Dual Career<\/h4>\n<p>It&#8217;s amazing to me how often I feel like I&#8217;m on a tightrope with two careers: as&nbsp; a part-time novelist and a full-time teacher, but I manage somehow. It means making time for the writing while doing my best as an educator.<\/p>\n<p>It means quick meals, take-out food, and a supportive family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>It means keeping notepads around to jot down creative ideas.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote my first novel on a bus years ago when I commuted to a job in Manhattan. I wrote a second novel while my son napped as a baby. I&#8217;ve written other books on weekends and vacations when I could.<\/p>\n<p>Not easy but doable.
