I used to write my books at night when I was a freelancer with no children. I used to really work in huge spurts - I could turn around a revision in two weeks, I used to be able to write 10,000 words a day. It's like, 'Wow, what happened to that?' That's just gone.
Misery's fine - as long as you know you can get out of it when you want to.
I think the biggest thing that we are going to be able to do is focus on training, practicing, working on my starts, and taking each race one at a time.
