Time to Write?

  • So I've done it again. Lost my time for writing to other things that seem to come up. My novella that is done with the second edit now needs a final edit before I send it to publishers.

    I would love to hear from other writers as to how they find writing time if they have a job, family, and other things that must be done before writing. For me, I need to sit down and figure out a schedule for writing as it seems this will be the only way I get to do what I love to do.
