If your not writing this who is?
Ha Ha, the
weekend! My favourite time of week. Play time, fun time and happy
time.
I am sure that there is a perfectly logical case to be had for working a four or even a three day week. I am fortunate and am only obliged to be at my place of work for 35 hours. I am doing that in four days and largly my employer is happy enough to overlook the fact that I am not around on Fridays. If I really went for it I could easily do it in three days but not many students would appreciate their classes ending at ten o'clock at night! Wouldn't it be great if Friday became officially a weekend day!
Whats all this got to do with writing? Well, I struggle to find the time I would like to actually sit down and get on with it. I live on my own and have no kids, I work ridiculously short hours and even have three days a week off, but it seems to fritter away. I struggle to get even two hours. I think I will have to free myself of some more burdons on my time. I threw off the shackles of ironing years ago, why flatten your clothes to then unflatten them as soon as you put them on?
The folks that write (or indeed make music, paint, draw, sing etc) who have all the responsibilities of a proper adult life get my unswerving respect and admiration. Which leads me to think.....come on Gaz, sort it out you lazy git!
That's it that's the answer, I am a lazy writer.

Finding time is not easy....you just have to disciplined. Alot an hour or two each day..try to make it the same time...and sit down and write!
Oh and log off from the cloud!...I know...it's so easy to stay on here...and it's a great place for ideas etc....but when you are going to write...log off..it's too tempting!
Good luck!

I used to work in scientific research, where it was often said, 'The harder you work, the luckier you get'. I imagine that applies equally to writing as well.
Needless to say, I quit science without winning a nobel prize :)
Definitely, allotting time is imperative, and I am fortunate enough to be able to allot my best, most productive, most inspired part of my time, and then when that time is over -put it down ...
Oh and absolutely, WC is great, but won't get the job done!
