Sylvia Laurence asked Eileen Rose Giadone:

Hi Eileen! Thanks for writing The Habit Fix. I wanted to ask: what was your motivation to stick it out and finish your very first book, even when the going got tough?

Eileen Rose Giadone Sylivia! I'm sorry I'm so long in answering this question. I'm new to "author side" of Goodreads and I didn't know this question was here. Ha ha!

To answer your question, I was very motivated to finish the Habit Fix because I really believe in everything I put in that book. It truly is taken from my own experience. And while I'm always working toward a happier, healthier life, building my confidence and taking chances, I've actually come a long way. So, I was very inspired to share and, hopefully, help someone the way a lot of the people in the book helped me. In fact, writing the book itself was a natural progression inspired by what is IN the book. I've always wanted to share my writing and now I'm finally brave enough to do it.

I write a lot of fiction too. I'm working on a novel and or this one, it's taking some discipline to "stick it out". I'm interested in the story I'm telling. There's a lot of fun to be had in writing it. But novels are a LOT of craft and planning. So, I have to force myself, sometimes, to dig in and get it done. It's my first and I want it to be great. Of course, everyone says that's not going to happen - that nobody has a "great' first novel. But I'm going to try my hardest to prove them wrong.

Thank you for your interest in my book and in me. Again, I'm sorry I took so long to discover your question. I'm still learning!
