Writing Wednesday: Finding Time to Write
This is a bit of my talk from WIFYR:
Everyone has the same 24 hours a day
If you want to add writing (or more writing) to your current schedule, the first simple principle is that you will have to make room by taking something else out.No one is going to make writing time for you. You will have to wrest it away from other commitments, and it will not be painless.If you have nothing you can give up, you will not find time to write.What should you give up?
Cleaning is on the top of my list.
Close doors of your children’s rooms or any rooms you need to.
Look, see how simple it is.
Open...
then closed.
Much cleaner.

Last night I gave up two hours of sleep to write. Sometimes that's the best time for me because I'm not an early riser and the house is silent. The other day though, i took my laptop outside while watching my puppy play in the backyard. Another tip I got was to bring a notebook when you have to go to the doctor's office or have appointments, and write instead of flipping through the magazines they have.

I find that I need to do it when the house is all asleep, that is the only time I have to myself. However, I wish and hope that there will be a day when I can Make time for writing!
