" I love writing. I love teaching. So, perhaps a combination of the two is in order." You got the right idea in the above statement Erica. That's exactly why I so often find myself writing about writing, and how to be productive on Medium. I'm teaching - something I love to do, and sharing something I absolutely love - writing. I'd go a step further and say: Use this same strategy to get your novel written. Divide your time between (1) actually working on your novel, and (2) writing about the experience of writing your novel. When you get crunched for time, because of spending time with the kids, as soon as you get a few minutes, WRITE about that too. Don't try to be perfect, but instead, focus on being genuine. That amounts to quality also, and doesn't take two whole hours to pull off. Congrats kiddo, and thanks for the mention :-)
