BellaOnline Forums Career Writing for Children Finding Time to Write

Hello Fellow Children's Writers!

Do you have a some great tips and techniques for finding time to write? If so, please email them to me or share them here in the forum and they may be included in an upcoming article.

In the meantime, I've shared some of my special tips and techniques in a new article: Finding Time to Write

Happy Writing!

Hi Annamaria,

I'm not a children's writer, but this is definitely a topic that is of interest almost regardless of what style of writing you do. I've heard people say that they make themselves write an hour per day, 2 hours per week minimum.

For others, they say don't force it - the time will come when the inspiration comes.

I'm leaning toward making the time to write just like you do everything else because writing time can get taken over by so many other projects. But when I'm not inspiried, I can't write. So that would be 30 minutes of starting at the computer screen...lol...

Great article!

Hi, Dianne

Thank you for the feedback on the article! Loved your comment about the blank computer screen and it gave me an idea for something new...an article about ways to beat writer's block.

I'll check out your site.

Best Wishes,
Annamaria

Great idea...I'll try to include it in a new column soon.
