Finding Time To Write….

By Beth Ann Erickson, BethAnnErickson.com

Life is moving at a frantic pace – at least it seems that way at our house!  And if you’re like me, you’ve always dreamed of becoming a writer.  But how do you find the time in between family responsibilities, work pressures, and anything you may try to squeeze in between keeping up the house, buying groceries, mowing the lawn (or shoveling snow!), etc., etc., etc….

It sounds overwhelming, doesn’t it?  Where are you going to find time to develop your writing skills?

Becoming a writer with good, solid skills doesn’t take as much time as you think.  Just a little bit of writing each day will take you farther than you can imagine.  And knowing a few tricks of the trade will advance your writing skills far beyond your competitors….

So, are you ready to get to work?

Here’s an assignment:

Take a look at your typical (if there is such a thing) day.  Where can you find some uninterrupted time to improve your writing skills?

Can you need to skip a television show?  Do you spend time waiting for a bus, subway, or cab?  Maybe you pick your kids up from school and have to wait for them.

You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to find time you can steal from your schedule.

Get out your journal.  Find time to write.  Watch your skills grow.
