I don't know. This whole day is little off. I slept through my exercise time, I sat on the couch when I was supposed to be cleaning, and I haven't had anything nutritious to eat (Wait! Does chocolate count. Anti-oxidants...it does. sweet! I'm good on that one.)
I think my day is out to get me.
Oh no...only six more minutes.
Plus I have a long list of things to do (remember the dead washing machine? There's a pile of laundry waiting for me. Curse you stinky socks & smelly towels).
Great...now there's only four. I'd better get to my point.
If you are going to be a writer, time becomes very important to you. You need time to write, time to revise, time for crit buddies, time to communicate with agents, time to eat (mmmm....eat...).
Sorry, I got carried away thinking of food.
So to cure the time monster...you must block out time to get things done. Make your time work for you and remember...don't wait until the last minute to write a post (do what my friend Elana J does and write your posts on one day for the entire week. Brilliant! And have you seen her blog? I bet she's not counting down minutes until she has to throw her socks in the dryer. Just saying.)
If you are going to do it...plan it and do it. That's all there is to it. (Of course, it's probably the hardest thing, but still.)
Okay, I have thirty seconds. Eck! So what do you do to keep yourself on the writing track?

I have to plan it in the day or it doesn't happen. But, I also have to be flexible enough to sometimes let it go and write at a different time that day. It's balance...not easy though for sure.
