FIND TIME TO WRITE

·        Forget the excuse that you do not have time to write. Everyone has time to write. You will find time to write if you want to badly enough. It just means that you must cut back on TV and movies.
      
     Writers make sacrifices. Suzanne Berne wrote her first book having determined to set aside at least five minutes a day in which to write. She achieved her daily five minutes and within a year published her first book. Kingsley Amis wrote at least a thousand words a day. With five minutes a day or a thousand words a day you will achieve much more than punishing yourself with a four-hour writing session.
     
     There’s a saying: “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” Most of us should have started writing long before this. But we can’t do anything about that. Don’t fret. Let go and start writing.
