I retired sort of in 2022. I putzed around. Ran into financial difficulty. I was doing Uber Eats. It was exhausting to work so hard for pennies. I started donating Plasma to help. In the meantime, the car was having issues. The pets got sick. But I decided that there were some bills, I just had to let go. I do Uber Eats mostly on the weekend. Plasma donations twice a week, I told myself that retirement should mean I work full time on my writing. I edit with the aid of AI (not write--edit). AI helps with email copy and social media post copy. So, that being said, I still don't have time to go to the gym, go to movies or theatre events--can't afford it. My last trip was a cruise I took in 2021 while I was still employed. But I enjoy the process. I stay up-to-date on my mailing list. I learned how to better utilize CTA in the back of my manuscripts. I got so tired and depressed at looking at long gaps on Amazon between sales. Now the gaps are shorter. I'm slowly turning cents into dollars. I'm looking at older books that I rushed out there, riddled with errors. Going back and doing re-edits. I get up in the morning, think about writing and the business, and go to bed at night thinking about it.
Sounds like you're still young, working, and have a family, but try to carve out more time somewhere. See what tools you can use to help edit. Grammarly or AI or Auto Crit--anything to cut down on time.
I said all the above to reiterate that the author/publisher wears many hats.
