Forward Motion for Writers

See you there!

This topic came up in Chat recently and a few of us had the same conclusions.

When we had time, but had money issues (usually because of no job) it was almost impossible to write. The stresses concerned with no money overwhelmed the desire to write. For me even when I had the desire I kept thinking I should be doing resumes, I should be doing something to earn money. Earning through self publishing wasn't going to be enough by a long shot.

Since then I have got a full time job. One that involves an hour commute by train to and from work. So I invested in a notebook (one up from a netbook) and write during those commute hours.

I don't write every commute. Sometimes I just lisen to music and plot/plan/analyse in my head.

But I have found it easier to write (and any variation of writing) now I have work, and money, and no time.
