writethisfanficIt's Saturday -- but wait, where did Friday go? :-( Sorry about missing another day this week. RL in my neck of the woods has been bordering on impossible. I'm glad the weekend is here!
Anyway, how is your Saturday going thus far?
Did you write?
Today is our day for the weekly chatting/snippet-posting/beta-seeking post! Post a bit of what you are working on if you are in a sharing mood! Do you have a question that needs answering? Do you need help with something that's giving you trouble? Do you need a place to vent and complain? Leave a comment & we'll see what we can do to help you!
For Discussion: This is an optional discussion topic, to wrap up my "Tolkien week." Tolkien once listed in a letter a mound of personal struggles he was facing: being ill, being overworked and missing his son who was away in the Royal Navy. He put many of his struggles aside, though, and went to writing. He had to balance his day job with his desire to write epic stories set in Middle Earth. He found time. He made time. It took him 7 years to write The Hobbit. The thing that he writes about most in this period is his struggle to get the work finished on his novels and to balance teaching and his many duties at Oxford College. Apparently he found a way.
Do you have difficulty finding time to work on your writing when real life becomes a struggle? What are some of the things that derail you the most as you try to find time to write? What helps you keep on task?
