Yep, this is real talk. Nowadays those booms of authors who sought to make millions are falling off like a stack of potatoes.
But there are those of us who are 'Writing On' because the passion is way too deep to stop.
WAYS TO STAY ON YOUR OWN PATH
1. Set aside your write time daily.
2. Join a writer's group or organization that puts you in front of other writers on a weekly basis. Being around other positive influences usually gives you the motivation to continue on your path.
3. Make a schedule and goal list.
4. Post your writing goals, project list, and progress. Having it in sight reminds you to redirect to writing.
5. Participate in writerly online chats (set a time limit so you don't cut into your writing time).
6. Beta read for other authors. This also keeps you motivated and sharpens your editing skills.
LASTLY, just keep writing.

On the Road Again?
You heard it all before...
......HAPPY NEW YEAR
THIS YEAR WILL BE DIFFERENT ....
.....MY RESOLUTION IS
So, in my case I'm - on the publishing road again.
The benefit of being an author (mainly because you love it, and secondly because hey, you may get a paycheck from it) is that it flexes with life.
In my case I've had to slow out my production of novels in the last two years.
No worries though! I'm back on track.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM ME THIS YEAR?
2015 Planned Publishings
DEVIANT STORM (book 2 in the Purgatory Reign Series).
DOUBLE TROUBLE LUV (book 3 in my Summer Luv Series).
SUMMER LUV boxed set (will be released for the holidays and include: FLUTTER of LUV, THUNDERING LUV, and DOUBLE TROUBLE LUV)
Writing Plans
I am closing up some series since I have tons of ideas for new ones
3rd book in PURGATORY REIGN SERIES
3rd book in THE PACK SERIES
1st novella in my TURBELENT LUV series
TRUTH of THE MATTER
is, that I'm already behind since life is very hectic. However, I'll tackle my writing according to (1) the list (2) and what moves me the most to write.
