Quit Complaining About Not Having Time to Write

You probably need to cultivate mental energy instead

Every writer I know complains about not having enough time to write.

You, too?

I thought so.

I just got back from a week-long writing retreat at a remote location where there wasn’t anything to do besides write. And take walks to moo back at cows. And share Happy Hour with the other writers, but that’s another story.

I was in heaven. I loved having nothing to do but work on my novel (and moo). I vowed to bring some of how I felt home with me.

Then life rushed in. All of the appointments that I’d put off to go out of town, clients who wanted sessions with me, family members desiring to spend time with me.
