Some advice I gave a young writer who is conflicted with finding time for writing while going to college:
You can't write if you don't also live your life and gain new experiences; meeting new people, learning about your emotions and others, and making some mistakes on the way. Through mistakes comes the deepest knowledge. And then through forgiveness, sometimes of yourself, comes a connection to humanity -- and inspiration for writing.
Go forth and live in words.
