I have not been published, but I've written three novels (100k words approximately, each), and put them through multiple editing and revision passes, over the last 25 years while working full time in IT (which may or may not be considered grueling). Most of the writing was done at lunch, a few hours here and there on weekends and during holidays, and some during 90 minutes commutes on the bus. I don't have enough time in the mornings, and am usually too tired after work to do creative work. I've very rarely been able to plug in a flash drive and write during downtimes at work. There are exceptions, of course. I've been told by un-related people who've read the work that they're pretty good, and I may self-publish someday. It certainly is possible do creative work while working full-time. It takes dedication and creativity above and beyond that needed to do the writing. I've been obsessed with finding portable writing systems. In the late 90s I wrote on Palm Pilots (using RF-connected keyboards). Eventually I was able to afford laptops. Today my portable writing device is an iPad Air 4 with Magic Keyboard.
