You promised yourself you’d write tonight but…

After working late, making dinner, and helping the kids with homework, it’s an hour past your bedtime. Maybe tomorrow, you tell yourself.

Except you face the same chaos tomorrow.

Balancing your writing with the rest of your life is as tricky as riding a unicycle across a tightrope...while juggling bowling pins. That are on fire. Also, the tightrope is on fire.

Sometimes, it feels like creativity just doesn't fit into your schedule.

It can, but you need to stubbornly carve out the time like Michelangelo carving a naked guy from stone.

Everybody will want to know how you wrote a novel while managing a day job and a family.

We can't freeze time so you can write (we're working on it), but we can show you how to shift your mindset and manage your energy so that you take at least one step toward your dreams every day.

Over time, those steps add up to finished manuscripts, published books, and a happy you.

I wrote over twenty novels while working a day job

Hi, Eva Delaney here. I learned that balancing creativity with life required saying no to a lot of demands, accepting that there was never a good time to write, and managing my energy so there was a little bit left for creativity.

Those years of hard lessons led me to create The Essential Life Planner for Writers. It formalizes the system I used to write my first novels while working two other jobs.

FAQ

How is this different from other planners?

Good question!

We spent years writing, editing, and publishing fantasy/sci-fi books while working day jobs and handling life's endless demands.

We get that it's soul-crushingly difficult to be creative in this society.

The Essential Life Planner for Writers is based on the tricks we learned to balance writing with everything else.

They don't make more time appear or responsibilities vanish, but they help you focus on being creative and setting boundaries so you have a bit of time each day to create.
