Finding time to write

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.
