Dear indie authors: do you take weekends off from writing? Or do you find it’s when you have time to write because of jobs or whatever?
I try to make the weekends all about my family. 'Try' is doing enormous work here. Inspiration doesn't always wait until Monday.

Writers, what's one piece of advice you'd give to another writer? I'm going to quote Sir Terry Pratchett: “The first draft is just you telling yourself the story.” Bearing that in mind: keep telling yourself stories that make you laugh, cry or fume with anger. Keep telling yourself stories that matter to you, about characters you care about, and tell them in a way you enjoy. The odds are pretty good there are people out there waiting to find stories just like yours.
