How do writers juggle writing, creativity and life?

Most writers don't have the luxury of just being able to write uninterrupted. Most writers are the ultimate time managers, because (more often than not) they juggle their writing and creativity with their everyday lives: work, family, friends, pets, fitness and, sometimes, health issues. Some are lucky to write for a living, but many work 9-5 jobs and and make it a habit to write creatively after hours, when they can fit it in around their other commitments.

Writing inspiration and advice: creativity secrets revealed

In The Secret Lives of Writers, 14 writers reveal their secrets on how they juggle writing, creativity and the demands of life. Irrespective of where they live, they face the same challenges: time management, motivation and fuelling their creativity.

Full of writing inspiration and advice, if you're a writer, or an aspiring writer, and this doesn't get you putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), nothing will!
