These days my life is crazy. Take for example the fact that this blog post was supposed to be scheduled yesterday and release at 6am, but in fact I'm just now typing these words at 5:30pm and I don't know when the post is actually going to go up. (In all honesty, I have a great excuse though, since today is release day for my sister's new book and we went to Starbucks to celebrate! *throws confetti*) In the midst of the rush and craziness, sometimes I can find it hard to make time for what I love most. Writing. But the truth is that writing is a skill and to develop that skill I have to (surprise)...write. So when time runs short these days, what exactly helps me to keep writing through the craziness? And maybe you relate because you're in a busy season too? Well, then let me share just a few ideas for you on how to keep writing, even if it feels like you're racing the clock. 1) Just write something! Even if it's ten words. Even if it's two sentences. Just. Write. Something. If you struggle with blogging consistently because of your schedule, just remember that blog posts don't have to be super long. They could be a paragraph or two. Just make sure you're writing something consistently, no matter how short. 2) Turn off social media. What's more important? Your writing or checking your Instagram status for the tenth time? Priorities, my friend. Turn off the socials for a bit and get back to what truly matters. Use every spare moment to work on your craft of writing. 3) Get up a little bit early. Maybe set your alarm for fifteen or thirty minutes earlier and then use that time to write! It may not seem like a lot, but it will make a big difference. I know it can be hard to keep your focus on writing when time goes crazy, but trust me it's worth it. You'll become a better writer and in the process you'll have tons of fun. What are some ways that you keep writing, even during your own busy seasons of life?
