Excerpted from a discussion by a student who’s set a tough writing goal simultaneous with finishing up his last year of university:

“I was hoping all you wonderful people here could give me a hand, by sharing any experiences you have of similar situations, where a high pressure “profession” period came into contact with your creative efforts, and what the results were: how difficult you found it; were either adversely affected; were you adversely affected; was writing still enjoyable at the time; that sort of thing. Anything else you want to add will also be greatly appreciated.”
