I feel for you. I try to squeeze in some writing any chance I get. I carry some paper in my bag as well as some notebook paper on my desk in case I'm unable to write on the computer. I try writing during my lunch breaks at work. The weekends and any work holidays are usually the best time for me to get caught up on the workweek's stress. I can pace myself and let the words flow naturally rather than rush to try to write as much as I can during my hour-long lunch break.<br /><br />It's hard doing this with a day job. I think it's every writer's dream to do what they love for a living :)R.M.

Also because I work at a school, even if I'm tempted to go do stuff in summer, there's no money for that, so I just stay home and write.<br /><br />If I tried to write only three months out of the year, though, I'd never survive. During the school year I pretty much never watch TV or go do anything, so that's my writing time. :DKD Sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331721898295889961noreply@blogger.com
