Manage Time? Not Happening. #mfrwauthor

If you've been following the challenge, you'll have learned there's a lot of aspects to my life. In addition, I've reached a stage in life where multi-tasking slows down getting something finished, rather than enabling more tasks to be done.



Managing is often synonymous with scheduling. My to do list is at the whim fate and the control of others. My idea of "me time" is a quick shower or a few hours of sleep. When I do schedule specific time, the Peter Principle will come into play and a emergency will take precedence.

While my fiction writing time isn't managed as such, I do know how. When I covered events as a correspondent, I'd drive there (it helped keep me calm for all the interviews), then my husband would drive home. I would use the return time to write the articles while the memories-- and shorthand-- were fresh in my mind. Before that, when I worked in New York City in the World Trade Center, the hour-long train ride each way (more in bad weather) was dedicated to writing.

Stop by the rest of the posts in the hop to see how the other authors manage their writing time.
