Currently what keeps me from my writing is the holidays. I just cannot stop the cleaning and shopping and decorating to get anything done. I am hoping for more freedom from such things after Christmas.
Add to the holiday rush, marketing/promoting new book, book signings/talks, administering a few blogs, editing, etc., etc., etc. Before I knew it, months have gone by without having written one word in my next novel. Things are due for a change.
I have a number of blocks...money being the biggest. my husband and I work incredibly hard, but it never seems to be enough to make the bills...so its tough to write with all of that stress.

Ditto.

It sounds so absolutely silly to me, even now, but I'm scared of success.
Yeah, see? Weird. Silly. But it's true.
Next up would definitely be the time issue.
