To be honest, the contract with the publisher and my editor. I have a family with two young kids, so there is always something (sick, more fun playing with them etc.). Also the goal of having a publisher "approve" of my writing was a huge motivation! In the end, it helps to deliver chapters to the publisher and to the early-reviewer, so you always make progress and feel accomplishments along the way. I am not a type to self-publish this, maybe 5 years ago or in 10 years from now, but I am very happy what Manning offers and the care they give each writer.
