Discussion time!

Because I'm curious...

Writers on my flist-- how do you make time to write? And how do you get yourself to keep writing consistently?

Myself, I find that it works to have a block of time each day which is for writing-- I use "on the train between my jobs." It's about an hour, and it's relatively free from other stuff I could be doing. But I've also found that my motivation to keep writing is much higher as I'm getting toward the end of the book, such that I have little trouble getting myself to sit down and write even at times other than my scheduled time that day, if I miss that time. (Whereas before, I would often have days where at my scheduled time I was not in the mood/tired/hungry/too interested in reading a book/etc, and skip them.)

But how do other people do it? What works well for you?

Yeah, and I thought about doing that, but my psychiatrist wasn't very accessible, and I was so happy to be able to do most things again that I really didn't care to mess with it. Like I said, for me, writing was just something I did for fun anyway - going to work and having friends were far more important!
