This is part of the fantasy of being a best selling author, right? An author so busy flying to book signings, so in demand as a speaker, and so wealthy she can hop a jet any time to research a gorgeous island retreat that she has to write in any bits and pieces of time.
Yes, for a few minutes I was Jodi Thomas and Nora Roberts happily typing away on my next bestseller.
To get to the fantasy part of any career, you got to do the work. I've spent some time with Jodi Thomas. She treats writing like a job...she gets her work done even if it means writing late into the night in a hotel room after speaking at a writer's conference. Rumor has it that Nora Roberts can be seen typing away at poolside during conferences.
Deadlines and doing the work. There is no substitute.

fun entry. Indeed, it's a fantasy and yet the reality is that it's a job - albeit a very fabulous job with a lot of freedoms. So, 40K words at 40K feet?? Almost....
