It used to surprise me when someone would say, \u201cHow do you have time to do all of that writing?\u201d Finally, it occurred to me where such people were coming from and I began responding by saying, \u201cIt\u2019s what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Most people, when they peek in at a writer\u2019s life, are using their own busy lives as a norm and they can\u2019t imagine finding time to spend writing a book or numerous articles or stories for publication. What they fail to realize is that writers write. That\u2019s how we spend our time. That\u2019s what we do from morning \u2018til dusk. If we hold down an outside job, we write during the early morning and\/or late night hours\u2014before and\/or after work. <\/p>\n
It would be like having a beloved hobby or interest that you love to pursue after work\u2014hiking, biking or working out at the gym, building birdhouses, going out dancing or having a responsibility like caring for an elderly loved one or small children. It\u2019s something you do when you can. You find a way to do it out of love or passion. <\/p>\n
Even though there are millions of people writing these days, there are still a whole lot of people who still say, \u201cI wish I had the time to write,\u201d or \u201cSomeday, I am going to write my story.\u201d And some of them will, but not all. Some people just can\u2019t find a way to make writing a priority. Either the passion isn\u2019t there, their life is already full\u2014there\u2019s no room for anything as intense as writing\u2014or they cannot effectively prioritize. <\/p>\n
Loafing on the couch after work or playing computer games is more appealing to some people than sitting down to a writing project. And that\u2019s okay. It\u2019s your life.<\/p>\n
