I thought I had it covered (a designated time to write) until I had my second child.

Every day that I don't work on my book is the day I have to pull myself back into reality and remind myself that my baby girl won't be a baby forever. Besides sitting down and typing, I do what I can, which is thinking about the plot and characters while I walk with my baby, and put little notes in the books I read as my inspiration.

I have a baby girl too. So hard to have a set schedule🥲

I love the notion to sit down and write, however, what did she do that made her publishing experience expensive?

My guess would be the team of people you can hire to bring a book to the next level of expertise. Fact checkers. PR. Book tour travel. Etc

My question as well.

The tip that helped me sit down and write before I read this was this video by Jed Herne: https://youtu.be/0q6sv4bHbDU?si=Nwnur7UkfQOksUfd

Yes, that makes sense. It isn't cheap.
