Writing When Time is Scarce: and getting the work published
You would like to write some fiction or nonfiction. The issue is whether you can add that to your plate, or if next year would be better. There's always next year, right? Next year always comes, but not with more than 24 hours in each day.

You may be able to rethink your activities and pare down some responsibilities or hobbies. Perhaps you want to go through this book to get a better sense of time involved in writing blogs or books (or anything else). Then you can figure out what to cut or reprioritize.

One thing is definite. If you allocate a certain time of the day or given day to writing, you are more likely to make progress. If you let those most close to you know you plan to write a few hours per week, youc can more easily designate time to do so. What you don't want is to reach a certain age and say, "If only I'd started earlier."

This book will help you figure out It's not about turning your life upside down. It could be about two more hours per week. If you can find it, I can show you how to go from rough draft to published author -- whether you do all the work yourself or work with a publisher. Check out the chapters:

Articles, Short Stories, and Blogs: Brief Can be Mighty

Why should you read a book written by Elaine L. Orr? For years she wrote in bits and pieces because she had busy jobs. Most of those early products will never see daylight, but they did teach her a lot about writing. She kept reading books on writing, taking classes and...writing. Finally, she was ready to publish -- and put out 25 book in 7 years. Your path may be different, but the route doesn't start until you make the time to write.

Ready, set, write!
