Work on a cover image and text block:
Carry around a notebook to get the thoughts when they come and then go to outline, chapter heading and body of chapter when you sit down to write on your free time.

Writing a book while working 60 hours a week was actually fun. I carried a pocket notebook in my shirt and jotted down ideas as my day unfolded on the bus as soon as I finished a trip and got to the terminal. Then I would edit later by writing chapters down on blank sheets on Word. I’d start after work on Friday and get in about five hours until midnight. I’d then get up a 5 a.m. on Saturday morning and work until one or two pm and then stretch my legs and snack on some food. Sunday I’d do a half day. It’s not a good idea to eat while you’re writing–trust me you’ll soon see why! After lunch, I’d switch over to my other laptop as the device I was on since 5 would start to fail due to overheating. It took me a while to realize why my logic board was failing.

Next, you need to market your book. . .

Thanks for sharing, that’s awesome!
