I need to increase my reading, writing and creating time. The amount of time I spend on the categories you listed was challenging for me to define as units of measure, as it varies. Even though I do try to read, write and create every day, there are some days that I feel a stronger sense of accomplishment, more so than others. As a writer in progress, to become a published children’s book author, I feel the amount of time that I spend is evolving and changing throughout my journey. ~SuzyGarden Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381204646734686433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-13407005714824603712014-09-12T12:44:10.069-04:002014-09-12T12:44:10.069-04:00Susanna, thanks so much.

We're a diverse group and you managed to find the commonality among us. I'm in a fairly productive period right now, but many years I've struggled with time constraints. But the important thing is to keep going! I'm going to use that timer tip, too. Nice that you have Cheddar to encourage you along, Christy. :)Patricia Tohthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878871084215411303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-56642060310557736732014-09-12T09:45:12.252-04:002014-09-12T09:45:12.252-04:00Cheddar and Chris, what an excellent post and full...Cheddar and Chris, what an excellent post and full of great advice.

I know I am really bad at focusing, but it's part of my new routine. I spend a set aside amount of time with wi-fi off and all I do is write/revise/draft. I am sure that this post will be very valuable to writers at all points of development. Thank you!Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084776778987451806noreply@blogger.com
