This week we asked our community on Facebook to answer this question: What are some of the biggest challenges you face as an author? Here’s what they had to say:What are some of the biggest challenges you face as an author?

Cheri Fields: Making time without feeling guilty about it. I’m a homeschool mom and there is always something else to do when my brain is functional.
I’m a mom, writer, and podcaster at https://creationscience4kids.com

Anne Janzer: My biggest challenge involves balancing the business activities of being an author (marketing and promotion) with the creative ones (writing the next book, blog posts, etc.) My most effective strategy is to do the long-term writing work every morning, and put everything else off until the afternoon so that my writer’s brain continues incubating ideas for the book even as I take care of other work. I’m an award-winning author and nonfiction writing coach; find me at annejanzer.com.
