Finding the time to write

Something that plagues almost every writer is finding the time to write. It seems to be something that just kind of slips past without notice, we want to write – yes, in fact if you are anything like me you can not go through a day without writing something, but… how do you find the time?

I find that for me, the best time to get things done is early in the morning, before my dad wakes for the day. This is because once he wakes the television is turned on, and I keep getting distracted by the television and can not focus on what I am doing.

Even waking fifteen minutes early is enough to get in a few minutes of writing during a day. The important thing is not getting perfect writing, it is in getting acceptable writing that can be polished when you are less able to focus on the act of creation.
