Making Time for Writing

Creating a structured approach to writing is essential for balancing responsibilities as a parent and a novelist. Setting specific time slots for writing, especially during the daytime when children are at school, allows for focused productivity without overwhelming distractions. Aiming for short, manageable writing sessions of around 90 minutes helps maintain momentum and makes the process feel less daunting. As deadlines approach, the intensity of writing increases, showing that dedicated time management can lead to effective creativity.
