I try to write as if it's my job. I work at it, set goals and look at areas I can improve. At the moment I'm working on two main projects. I have a third in a drawer.
To make things even more interesting, yesterday I got a job. It's a proper, real full time job and I'm very excited. I've been finding it increasingly difficult to justify staying home eating cake (and writing) now that all of my kids are at school full time. I also learned how little authors get paid, read the phrase 'don't give up your day job' a few million times and thought I'd better get one so I could 'not give it up'.
So now, I guess, writing is my hobby.
