This month’s IWSG question is: how do you find the time to write in your busy day?
I stopped and went “what time?” as I’ve been mostly ignoring it for the past couple of weeks. And as much as my schedule increased in terms of how busy it got this year with the little one starting preschool (among other things), I’m sitting in trepidation at how much busier next year will be.
For now I’m trying to use the short time she’s in school to get something done, though lately it has been other things demanding my attention first. I think once the dust settles and I get used to the new routine, it’ll even itself out.
But honestly, I’ll grab whatever time I can. I don’t have a set schedule and I’m certain I’ll be making good use of the iOS version of Scrivener and my Dropbox syncing (since before Scrivener for iOS was released I would bounce between computers).
Writing on the run is hard, editing harder, and with as much as this post might be disjointed I think I can make it work.

I remind myself that Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck wrote daily newspaper reports while on the front lines during WWII. I shame myself into writing more that way! 🙂
Just give it a week or so and you’ll get into a routine of writing while she’s in school.
I can so relate to that “What time?” It’s great that you’re grabbing those moments when they come along. Hopefully there will be more time when you get into the new routine. Good luck!
Have you been able to use the Preschool time to get stuff done? How’s that been working out?
It’s working out okay so far, but the time goes by too quickly.
