The day after I announced publicly I'm writing a book, my wife announced she was pregnant. I still continued writing but the motivation of the first day was halfed. Two weeks later, she told me it was twins, I quickly decided to get a stable job. I still wrote in the evening and weekends.
The kids came earlier then expected, and we had to spend 2 months in the NICU. Writing took a backseat. It turned into a day or two a week. When the kids finally came home... If I could get a paragraph in every week I was lucky.
At one year old, I check the last modified date on the files and it says a month ago. The quarantine helped me get a few paragraph here and there every night. But a good part of my routine has been reading the book to remember what it was about.
I'm really impressed with how Bob Nystrom managed to get 200k words in with life fiercely trying to get in the way.
Your first book was amazing, and I can't wait to get this one too in my hands.
