If not, how do you schedule your writing time? I personally use a timer but put it in the next room where it doesn't drive me crazy while the minutes are ticking away. When the bell goes off, you have to peel me off the ceiling because I really get into the writing thing. I don't see or hear anything around me.

I write a specific number of words every day. Sometimes it takes me all day, sometimes I'm done in an hour or so. Depends on the inspiration.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I find myself pulled in so manhy directions that at times my "take time for me first" doesn't happen an even when it does my mind is still thinking of many other things. BUT every now and then an idea will pop into my head and I just start writing... the problem with me is I can get two or three at the same time. Like right now I am working on two stories at once....

Louisa Member Registered: 07/11/04 Posts: 2132 Loc: MA	Working fulltime, I do my writing at night and on the weekends. Most of it on the weekends. I don't have a set pattern. It's whenever an idea hits me. If I'm working on a newspaper story, then I'm more disciplined because I have a deadline. Sometimes I write while I'm away on vacation. When I'm into a story, I get very into it and have a hard time dragging myself away from it to do anything else. Louisa

TVC15 Member Registered: 09/03/04 Posts: 2538 Loc: North Carolina	I'm like Louisa, If I'm involved with something that's all I want to do is write it. I think the timer is a good idea though and I may try using one. Some days fly past me without my doing some of the important things that I need to do because I was writing too much. JJ, I'm interested in the Queen of compulsion also!

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Here's a tip I learned from a book last week. Write first! Answer email last! Never get wrapped up in the email distraction until your work is where you want it to be for the day. Now if I can only live by that.

smilinize Member Registered: 11/08/03 Posts: 3512 Loc: outer space	I write best to deadline. Without one, I will edit my way to the grave. Everything is usually better after an edit, but without a deadline I edit things to death. I'm working on it. smile

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	smile, I agree. If I am not working with a deadline from someone else, I give myself a deadline. I just did that yesterday with some work I've been trying to get written. Funny, I will live by the deadline I give myself. I need to give them sooner so I don't drag things out and edit to death. I know some people write and submit all in one day. I can't do that. I have to see it on different days, read it out loud, cut and paste, delete, blah, blah, blah!

Wisdom&Life Member Registered: 12/14/04 Posts: 724 Loc: Chesapeake, VA	I can't tell you how many times I have rewritten something because the editting I did before seemed embarassing to me. Would this system possibly work? Let's say to limit yourself only 3-5 times of editting in a span of a few days or weeks. I am just coming up with figures but you get the picture. JJ, how many times did you edit your material? Cheers, Cathi
