Finding Time to Write

For any writer, finding the time to write is quite difficult. Everybody is really busy nowadays with work, school, home chores, etc, that making the time to write can be challenging.

Also, when we do have spare time, we tend to jump on the computer or turn on the TV or PlayStation.

There are of course a few ways to make time. One easy way to make a bit of time would be when you are about to check your emails for the 10th time that day, or beat your high score on the Wii, pull out your latest project instead. Try to set yourself a time for computer, TV, or video games and writing time. Perhaps you could say “Writing after school on a Tuesday, then TV, afterwards.” Something like this can work well.

Another way you could find more time is to try making a deal with your parents to stay up later, so that you have more time to work on you writing. As long as you are still getting enough sleep though.

A tough one to overcome is school. Not only does it take up 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, but then there are assignments, studying and homework to complete also. Try setting your school work time in with your writing and leisure time.

Over all, try not to make excuses for yourself, because if you have the time, use it!
