Creating time to write

When I have time I'll write a book - the most commonly used phrase by would be writers.  You've probably realised by now that there will never be enough time - there will always be something else to do.

If you trully want to start your writing career you need to create time slots to use for writing - trust me they do exist.  Here are some easy ones to get you started.
  • Watch half an hour a day less TV
  • Get up half an hour earlier
  • Go to bed half an hour later
  • Use public transport and write on the train
  • Use 15 minutes from your lunch break to write
You should easily be able to create half an hour a day to write.  Once you have this time - use it. Do not waste time asking the kids if you can use the computer or clearing the desk of post.  Either ensure you have "booked" the computer or use an App on a mobile phone, even a pencil and notebook is enough to start writing.

By this time next week you should have created and used at least three hours writing time and have produced a significant piece of writing (don't worry about editing just yet).

If you would like more on how to create writing time or how to write fast then have a look at my latest book Write it! - how to write your book in 30 hours or less.

Create that time and start writing!
