I can identify with much, maybe all of what you're saying: The desire for large and/or regular times for writing, the realization that the years for my writing--at least on this earth--are limited, that I too am working hit and miss.<br /><br />I pray that both of us and others with similar concerns can soon smell smoke from the sparks that ignite our writers' flames.

I have learned this past year that looking at the final-product goal is too daunting for me--that I need to make baby-stop daily goals in my writing. Otherwise, I freeze and don't write at all. I hope you can find that regular block of time, setting smaller accomplishable goals. May God give you that needed boost of energy and determination to do so.Connie Mae Inglishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988103819012472275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-18101154366483317122015-01-10T18:20:49.909-07:002015-01-10T18:20:49.909-07:00Deadlines are great motivators for me as well, but...Deadlines are great motivators for me as well, but I think realizing that when God places it upon me to write, I need to obey. It is a discipline and sometimes a lot of fun! Sometimes I head to the coffee shop for ideas and a space.Jocelyn Fairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15767357831759356035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-75709109640652115172015-01-10T14:23:45.908-07:002015-01-10T14:23:45.908-07:00You described my methodology to a tea - at least u...You described my methodology to a tea - at least until a couple of years ago. I used to write primarily in the summer months when I wasn't teaching, with only a little bit of editing etc. The rest of the year I only had time to keep up with marketing, social networking and my blog. then I signed a couple of contracts that forced me to write and it was the best thing for me. Deadlines are a great motivator!Tracy Krausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066853243062725525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-17507377005894351032015-01-10T06:41:47.021-07:002015-01-10T06:41:47.021-07:00Shirley, you've described my angst most eloque...Shirley, you've described my angst most eloquently. Always another task that could be done first, always an interruption that sticks it's foot in the door I'm trying to close so I can focus. <br /><br />I wonder if God would help? Hmmmm... Maybe he does, and it's just so different from what I'm expecting that I haven't noticed it. You've motivated me to ask him! Thank you. :)<br />Bobbi Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16366421883424533929noreply@blogger.com
