What a difference fourteen days make! While hubby traveled and since I was forced into an early retirement, I had fourteen days without schedules. Wasted the first five, excuses are my best friends and I use them often to put off concentrating on edits or a particularly difficult scene. After those first five days, I got into my groove. I focused on writing several hours a day, sometimes into the wee morning hours.
Working a stressful full time job was not conducive to writing a novel, but obligations and distractions are equally handicapping. Working spouses have expectations of non-working spouses, after all most people do not think writing is work. Maybe that changes once a novel becomes a best seller, until then writers who do not contribute financially, may seem unproductive.
Am I the only one struggling to find time to write?
