There are not enough hours in the day ! A common complaint of writers who also have to work.
What can you do? How can you squeeze another hour into your day?
Keep a diary of how you spend every hour for a couple of weeks- this will show you gaps.
Do not turn on the TV
No social network sites until you have written
Buy good quality headphones
Tell the dust it can stay
Learn to say 'No thanks' to social requests.
See writing as your daily wind down
Keep your writing flowing through your mind when walking, driving, eating etc
Make realistic goals for each week
Ensure your family or people around you leave you alone when you write (unless there is a life
threatening emergency) Tell them you do not need a cup of tea, thanks.
Turn off your phone
Do not put writing your blog as a priority over writing your story
Any other ideas will be gratefully received.
