As things settle down, I ll be able to get back out there more often. Q. Let s talk about the act of writing. You are extremely prolific. If you re not a disciplined writer, you re not a professional writer. It s that simple.
Time management is everything.
I write at all hours of the day, whenever the mood strikes and real life allows. And of course, as deadlines approach, I make the mood strike more often. Typically, I try to get about a thousand words done in the morning, right after the kids get off to school. Then I ll go back to work in the afternoon for an hour or so, and try to get a bit more done at night. Fifteen hundred words a day is a good average right now hopefully, after I catch up, I ll get back to between 500 - 1,000 a day.
