Carving out time to write

mdlbearThanks to the time change (daylight-to-standard, for those readers not in the Northern hemisphere) and the fact that the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaoswolf got up in time to catch the bus this morning (not unrelated, obviously), I have some extra time to myself this morning.
I need to get back into writing; I have decided that an hour in the morning would be best. To squeeze out more time, I have moved most of my first-thing-in-the-morning browser bookmarks to a new PM folder. LJ is the only site in both.
One of my coworkers uses lunch at his favorite restaurant for writing; he seems to be cranking out a book every three years or so. I've been reserving lunchtime for walking, which is about the only exercise I get, and evenings are full of distractions. That leaves mornings which, due to the need to get the kids up for school, are mostly available.
It remains to be seen whether I can stick to it -- or even get started! I'm lazy and easily distracted. The last time I managed to carve out a regular writing schedule was 1983-4 (before we had kids), when I was writing Real-Time Microprocessor Systems.
Wish me luck.
