Desert Ice
I’ve started making time for my novel. I wasn’t doing this before and I got exactly…nothing…done. Now, I use the time I’m just sitting around (like at my son’s baseball practice) to do my organization and editing. I was talking to a new friend the other day while eating at a fabulous Eugene cafe. My friend is a screenwriter from Australia. During the day, he’s a psychologist and struggles wtih finding time. I was telling him that you have to make time for your writing. If you write only 1 page a day, you will have 365 pages at the end of the year. I realized after our talk–I’m a hypocrite. I need to take my own advice. So, I’ve started carving out a little time each day. I guess that’s how you work a “real” job and still do what you love…write.
