Iris,
We all have commitments that “steal” our writing time; that’s life. But, about a year ago, I made one decision that has helped me to “steal back” some of that time.
I had fallen prey to the “Please read and review my book” syndrome. I received countless emails from authors I didn’t know, requesting I do that and, because I didn’t want to turn anyone down, I agreed. Not anymore! I love to read BUT I want to read books that appeal to me. So, I now have a policy – I tactfully refuse those requests.
