I understand that full-time writers are able to create a work schedule to write. Say 9-5, or something like. Whatever works for them.
Alas, that is not me. I wish I could do that, but, unfortunately, I have to work. Writing gets bumped back. And no, for those that wonder, I do not come home and write/edit till I go to bed. Half the time I am lucky to get to write for more than 2 hours.
Honestly, what happened to me. As a kid I could write all night. Now that I’m older I want to sleep a lot, or that is the whole health problem. That too adds to my lack of writing, damn health.
I am now wondering if I should force myself to write for 2 hours a night and make it a habit (except for my days off, then I can clearly write more). I have no clue if it will even help any. Some days I know I won’t be able to write due to pain, but I think it is worth a shot.
Motivation for working out was never a problem, but for writing, yes, it was a big problem. If I want a shot at getting publishing, hence the word ‘if’ I have to get back into a routine. I love routines. This should be simple…I hope.
Well, time to rest and hold my food belly. My aunt cooked an amazing meal, great times with the Fam, and my soon-to-be cousin-in-law as of this morning. Love when holidays have amazing news.
Oh yes, I will try to write. I can balance a book or laptop on said food belly. Time to instil the new routine as of tonight, if my eyes stay open. I hope everyone’s holiday was enjoyable and delicious.

I don't schedule time for writing. Instead, I carry my 'on-the-go' stories with me wherever I go, and write when the inspiration hits. But I don't know what'll happen when I have less free time - currently I'm an unemployed college student who rarely studies, so I have a lot of free time.
I remember being an unemployed student in first year of University not too long ago. I used to have all the time in the world to write. As time goes you will probably do what I do and learn to dedicate time. What are you taking at school?
