Finding the time to write a novel is one of the major issues confronting writers Cheap College Jerseys China , particularly those who haven't been published yet. How does one justify to themselves, or to their loved ones, that they need time to write if they have demands on their time, like a job, or a house to be cleaned, a family to be fed, or shopping to do? They make the time.


To make time, one would have to sit down and plan it. If this is not done Cheap College Jerseys , then writing will become a haphazard event, dictated by a whim, or a passing urge, rather than a scheduled time. This often results in the book never really being finished. You do want to finish that book, don't you? Below, I have my own suggestions as to how to make time.




Think about your daily schedule, just like when you do a budget, only instead of money Cheap Authentic NCAA Jerseys , you'll be budgeting time.


Then get a nice large desktop calendar, the ones that cost about two dollars. Begin filling in the mandatory slots for the week. Do you have a work schedule, or a doctor's appointment, a meeting to go to, etc.? Then write these times down.


Next, fill in the times for meals, showers, shopping Cheap NCAA Jerseys Online , socials, etc.


Now look at the times that you are free. Please don't say there isn't any time left! There will probably be some time available somewhere. Maybe it'll be at lunchtime, if you are working, or after dinner, or even during the day if you're a stay-at home parent (when junior is napping).


If you are a new writer, start slow. Maybe find one hour a day and reserve that for your writing. Go ahead and write the date in the calendar. You just made an appointment with yourself. Now do it for every day of the week. You decide if you want to work the weekend or not.


If you are a more seasoned writer, you will probably need more time. I find that I need a minimum of three hours a day to write. Sometimes I may also use this time doing research for my book.




Once you make that appointment with yourself, that's the easy part. Next Cheap NCAA Jerseys Wholesale , you have to keep that appointment. There are so many instances when something else interferes with your designated time. I know, I've been there. Therefore, you need to have some flexibility. Always have a reserve time slot handy in case you don't make your date. Although I was pretty regular and rarely strayed from my afternoon schedule, there were times that I just couldn't stay on track. I learned to be flexible and wrote in the evenings. The important thing to remember is to not stray too far from your schedule, because it defeats the purpose.


Once you've scheduled your writing dates, then prepare your work area. Try and have it ready before your designated time. If you have a computer, make sure the printer has enough paper, and there's a floppy disk available to save your Word files in. If you use a pen and paper instead Cheap NCAA Jerseys China , make sure you have them handy. Also, make sure you have enough lighting in the room. You wouldn't want to strain your eyes. Make your writing area as comfortable as you can.


Now try writing for a week. How did it feel? If you're like me, it felt great. Not only did it feel great writing, but I quickly found out it wasn't enough time! One does need time to get into the story, to think about the dialogue, to write that chapter. Sometimes you'll be so absorbed in your writing, that you may surpass the hour you designated, and that's fine if you go beyond your scheduled time (unless it affects your other activities). There will be other times when you'll sit there doodling Cheap NCAA Jerseys , trying to write something, and it won't be easy, so you'll probably finish quicker than the allotted time.


The important thing is to write on a consistent basis. It's similar to exercise. In order to see results, you have to do it persistently and over a long period of time. A novel can never be written in one sitting! Over the course of your writing, you'll be learning valuable skills that can only come from experience. Also, you'll notice that the more you write, the easier it'll become.


As you follow your daily writing schedule, you will show your loved ones that you are serious about your work Cheap Authentic Jerseys , and more importantly, prove to yourself that you can write that novel!


I wrote my first novel in 1-? years. Being a stay-at-home mother gave me the opportunity to write during my baby's naps, which averaged about 2-3 hours each afternoon. It is very rewarding to see your novel taking shape. If I could do it, then so can you!

Six years ago, I had not yet turned on a computer. Today I run several successful Internet Businesses and by me being a single parent of 4 children my friends calls me a marketing expert. My road to success was one of perseverance. Twelve hours a day, Seven days a week, learning code, mastering submission techniques Cheap Jerseys Online , building web sites and databases. To think only six years age, I was stuck up in a office eight hours a day and not at home. Here's my story... It's my office Mentally and Physically burnt out all I can think about was trading this environment in for my Home. (of all things) Well to make a long story short every program I have ever been involved in has been a learning experience. My successes have inspired me while my failures have challenged me. In five years, I have vecome experts in running an Internet business. I attribute my success to my willingness to learn and my commitment to help the people that put their confidence in me. What did I learn? *I learned to build a community, not a business. *To offer something of value first, something for sale later. *To do more, not less. *To be persistent and dedicated. *To follow up, but not push. *To learn the things I did not understand. *To track all advertising campaigns. *To then promote some more! And with all of that I can honestly say that I can hardly wait to get in my home office everyday. There is nothing more exciting than running your own business from your hom.
