Nap time and bed times will find me back in front of the computer for working on manuscript as well as getting my blogs posts done for the following week. (I do a whole week, five posts, within one or two sittings including my serial) But, uh, seriously- you're Wonder Woman.

I have learned two things: One, Writing doesn't necessarily mean adding more words to manuscript it can also mean revising. Two, write all my blog posts for the week in one sitting instead of 5 different days a week. Why didn't I think of that before?<br /><br />Thanks Elana.

Not just that you get so much done, but that you are able to account for your time in such a concise manner, whereas I at the end of the week, am scratching my head wondering where all the time went. My idea of a schedule is knowing what day of the week it is. Bonus points if I know the actual date.

I took typing in high school, so I know where the keys are, but my fingers still refuse to hit just one of them at a time. And one hand seems to be a speed freak, racing ahead of the other to mess up simple words like "teh". The result is I end up fixing half the words in any sentence.

I squeeze in 30 to 45 minutes of writing in the morning between getting my husband off to work and my daughter to school & exercising. Then if I'm lucky enough to get a full lunch break, I can squeeze in another 20-25 minutes of writing. I can't blog or tweet at work so I try to spend about an hour or a little longer after I make dinner & lunches checking blogs & commenting. Then I read until I fall asleep exhausted. I try to spend more time on the weekends writing and any vacations spent at home (a lot of them are), I devote more time to writing. I may try to add a cup of coffee after work to see if I could write for a bit at night like you.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-28263796552545764312010-01-23T09:07:25.932-07:002010-01-23T09:07:25.932-07:00What amazing organization skills!What amazing organization skills!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556206184198452490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-78840820370967902882010-01-23T07:37:36.636-07:002010-01-23T07:37:36.636-07:00Oh my word.:) You made me dizzy just reading your ...Oh my word.:) You made me dizzy just reading your organization.

In fact, I'm slightly in awe.<br /><br />I tend to fit my life together my only going on Blogger twice a day, which amounts to about 2-3 hours a day anyway, but I'm sure it's less than when I used to come over all the time. The writing I do when I could be sleeping.

If you only write 250 words a day for one year (365 days), that will equal 91,250 words. <br /><br />And that amount of words is the draft of a novel.<br /><br />So don't think about hours committed and pages of material.<br /><br />You only need 250 words each day. If you write more than that, great. But each day, no matter how much you wrote the day before, commit to 250 words.<br /><br />T.TirzahLaughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505559474373463632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-29767479106238240852010-01-22T21:30:41.102-07:002010-01-22T21:30:41.102-07:00May I have a slice of your awesomeness pie?
