The Nighttime Novelist

Is the title of a book my husband gave me for Christmas. I've been writing a children's novel for a while now. The process is much more difficult than I thought it would be. In fact, it's one of the hardest things I've ever attempted to do - and I include childbirth in that statement.

It is so difficult to really concentrate on writing a book. It almost seems like the stars need to align. I need time to write, I need to be alert - not too tired, I need some peace, I need motivation. I need to finish.
