I'll be going along the lines of the last member's post...finding time to write.
Like everyone else, I'm busy. I'm a stay-at-home mom of children who don't like to sleep, yet the only writing time I have is during "nights and naps." That's about 3 hours a day altogether, and some of that time I spend catching up on emails or rifling through reference books.
One night a week (for six weeks a semester) I teach a writing class...one night a month I facilitate a writers group, then there are various critique groups I'm involved in. As my free time becomes pared away I wonder, when do I have time for fun?
Of course, reading and writing are fun (and I read at least a half hour a day), and I love to cook. But I want to be a sucessful writer, so most of my free time is devoted to improving my craft. After taking care of my family (which will forever come first), it's my number one priority.
