Finding the Time to Write
Posted under: This morning I stumbled across a diddy of a site called Writer Unboxed. Named one of Writer’s Digest Top 100 Writing Web sites, it provides a treasures-trove of writing information.
Guerilla Writing
Like so many other writers, I struggle greatly with finding time to write. I do recognize this as partly a short-coming. Yes, I have family obligations, and it is difficult, even daunting to stare at the blank page. And, frankly, sometimes it’s just easier to stare at the blank page or dream about writing than it is to actually do the hard work. Guerilla Writing is a method that I’ve always heard about doing, but haven’t done.
Fifteen-minute increments is the backbone of Guerilla Writing, according to Sci-fi novelist Phil Rossi, author of Crescent.
The main point he makes in this interview on Writer Unboxed is that everyone has committments, even novelists. Family, friends…book signings–and the list goes on. If you want to write, if your dream is to complete that as-yet-unfinished novel, article or even comic book, you have to sit down and do it; it isn’t going to finish itself.
