Harlan Coben believes that if you're a writer, you'll find the time; and that if you can't find the time, then writing isn't a priority and you're not a writer. For him, writing is a job—a job like any other. He has it with plumbing, pointing out that a plumber doesn't wake up and say that he can't work with pipes today.
, like most writers these days, you're holding down a job to pay the bills, it's not to find the time to write. But it's not impossible. It requires determination and single-mindedness. that most bestselling authors began writing when they were doing other things to earn a living. And today, even writers who are fairlyoften have to do other work to their writing income.
As Harlan Coben has suggested, it's a of priorities. To make writing a priority, you'll have to some of your day-to-day activities and some things you really enjoy. Depending on your and your lifestyle, that might mean spending less time watching television or listening to music, though some people can write they listen to music. You might have to the amount of exercise or sport you do. You'll have to make social media an activity rather than a daily, time-consuming. There'll probably have to be less socialising with your friends and less time with your family. It's a learning curve and it won't always make you popular.
There's just one thing you should try to keep at least some time for, your writing and that's reading. Any writer needs to read as much and as widely as they can; it's the one supporter—something you can't do without.
Time is finite. The older you get, the it seems to go. We need to use it as carefully and as as we can. That means prioritising our activities so that we spend most time on the things we really want to do. If you're a writer, that means— writing.
