Create a Routine

I no longer have a regular job.  I quit my job to write.  Sounds good and it is awesome not have to get dressed or have a sleep schedule.  The problem is there is no routine.  I get up when I want.  I go to bed when I want and I can stay in my pj's all day and sit in front of the tv if I want.

Wait, I am suppose to be writing.  When am I suppose to do this?

I am not a morning person.  I do not like to get up early.  I like to stay up late and sleep in.  By the time I get up, the chickens need to be checked on, I might need to run errands and now I have to think about the garden. 

Sleeping until ten is great, but I am not writing because when I get up this late, I need to do other things.

Today I got up at 7:00am and have been on the computer for the past three hours and I have acutally been writing.

Whether I like it or not, if I want to write and blog, I need to get up early.  Not by choice. 

The good thing about getting up early, is that I write first thing, then I have the rest of the day to do whatever I want.

Sleeping in is not working for me if I want to write and blog.  That is a fact.  So if I just want to sit around and watch tv, then I might as well stop thinking about writing.

I am a writer though.  I write that is who I am and what I do, whether anyone cares or not.  I am a writer.

So now I need to go and check on the chickens.  and check for eggs.  The sun is out and spring is here, now I can enjoy the day and do whatever because I just wrote for 3 hours.  I can always come back and write some more, which is what I might do later.

Being a writer is great, as long as we find time in our day to write

Blogging Around The World

The rain has past.  Yesterday was a very productive day.  I reread the draft of The Cross.  I reread the draft of The Way I like what I have written.  So now I just have to get my but in gear and edit like crazy.  For me that is easier than done.  I look at my desk which is piled up with legal pads, books and now I cannot find anything.
