Yikes, this week has been so busy! It's like there's a stack of things and issues towering on top of my head; like life right now is like an overstuffed bookcase.
But it's not really that bad. Being temporarily busy isn't horrible. Everyone goes through this kind of time every once and a while, especially when new things in life are developing.
But it does get kind of difficult when it comes to writing, doesn't it? Writing even a little bit every day's important--it keeps the creative muscle from freezing and drying up--but when there are lots and lots of other things to do, finding time to sit down and just devote the mind to dreaming with the pen is hard! Writing is a special thing that should be done with attention and focus (and often re-writing, even when it's only a few sentences!); just three minutes isn't enough to really write something larger than a paragraph.
But three minutes for every passing period at school? And spare time in class and rides in a car (as a passenger, of course)? The time spent waiting for the microwave to heat up lunch? Accumulated, the minutes can really add up! Those moments combined can give enough time to write more than just a paragraph, but a page and maybe even a full scene or chapter.
What do you do to fulfill a writing quota when days seem short?
