Finding the time
I am lousy at time management. I have zero self-discipline. I find it hard to make myself sit down and write no matter how much the words and ideas might run riot around my head, demanding to be put down in writing (or typing).
So how come I can manage to write 50,000 words every November? How come I can manage to make my work deadlines?
I think I’m basically a time-waster. I do have free time in my days, when I sit and play computer games, when I browse the net, when I drop Entrecards. I could read for a half-hour less each day and write instead. I could have a shower instead of a bath and use the time saved (because I do spend a lot of time in the bath when I have one, usually reading).
It’s not really a problem finding time to write, I suppose. The hours are there, I can carve out chunks of time from other things to spend writing.
No, my problem is my motivation. I call myself a writer, I would like to become a published writer. I would love to actually finish one of my half-baked novels. I just can’t seem to get enough impetus to do so.
ARGH.
Anyway, suggestions and criticisms are welcome. Very welcome. I need one or more kicks up the arse, and I’m inviting you guys to apply them.
