: Re: What can one do to get the most from limited writing time? I do make an effort to write every day, and usually succeed, but I just have too much going on in my life right now to give

In college I had a writing professor who was a published novelist, mother, and had worked in web design while getting her Masters of Fine Arts and writing. She told a story of another novelist who did most of her "writing" while doing chores. This novelist had a great memory and would come up with the next stage of her plot while folding laundry, on walks, in the shower, etc. When she got a moment, she wrote it all down. Because she was so immersed in her story, it stuck with her.

This won't work if you don't have that kind of memory. It is, however, how very some prolific authors get books written. They write in their heads until they can write on paper/the computer/the typewriter.
