Re: Finding the time - or motivation - to write
by River Author IconMail Icon
I find myself in this situation a lot. Setting aside a specific time of day to write helps me, even if it is only fifteen minutes. Writing is then in my routine. It takes discipline, but it works.

Another thing that helped me was joining a local writing group. We get together once a week and are expected to show up with a completed short story. We also do writing exercises and discuss each others work.

Writing prompts can also help. I find once I get started the creative juices start flowing. As with anything else, you must write every day!

I hope this helps. Write on!
