I wished I had started the habit of writing every day back then. Ah well.

Yeah, I'm about to head into editing for April and I might chunk the 100 words/day out the window and just focus on number of pages edited or an amount of time a day.

I think having a schedule forces me to plan ahead to the next writing session instead of just waiting until "I feel like it" because I'm really good at doing the writing in spurts thing too. :) Claire B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03731278845380794276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618645909538172709.post-54956238338475959692017-03-25T10:48:49.798-05:002017-03-25T10:48:49.798-05:00I'm a big sister and a little sister. lol!

I think I learned the importance of balancing back in high school because I was already writing a lot back then, and even being home schooled that doesn't mean you have all the time in the world (like public school kids seem to think lol) Since I'm between jobs currently, I have more time to write, but that still doesn't mean life doesn't get in the way, and I am a huge advocate of writing SOMETHING every day even if it is only 100 words so I definitely agree with that one. No matter how little, you'll feel better if you actually work on it than if you totally blow it off :) I personally think balancing is one of the most important things any writer, or really any artist at all, needs to learn. No matter how you choose to do it.Hazel Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234157921832851920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618645909538172709.post-2345586953522957022017-03-24T13:52:04.305-05:002017-03-24T13:52:04.305-05:00Thanks for the encouragement and advice!

I struggle with balancing everything too, and I don't even have "regular" school/college or "regular" work and I'm not even a published writer yet. I do a lot with to-do lists and I recently started some form of Bullet Journal, which has been helping some. Internet is a major distraction so I think I need to manage that time as well. I love that you can do the 100 words per day thing! I might try to get into something more loose than that (like a vague weekly or ever-other week goal) because I work better in spurts of activity than slow-and-steady. Anyways, thanks for sharing! :)Deborah O'Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969896655321575875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618645909538172709.post-83336755989604620672017-03-24T13:28:48.980-05:002017-03-24T13:28:48.980-05:00What hats do I wear?

I don't really have a schedule, but since I'm still young and homeschooled, it's easier to be flexible ;). I loved your idea of writing 100 words a day! I once participated in a 100 words for 100 days event, and that helped my wordcount a lot ;).
