Lately I've struggled to find the motivation to work on my novel at the end of long days spent helping other writers produce and polish their own work.

that.
But if I were, say, an accountant, would I be a more productive writer in my after-work hours? Do we really have only [x amount] of creativity available to us in a
day?
