Writing: Keeping the Momentum

I am currently working on my third book in my 47 Destinies series.  It has an incredible plot.  The main character is edgy and blunt.  I've been working up to this story even as I wrote the last two books.  I even placed clues and background in the other two books to make this story work.  (And let me tell you, I am so glad I did!)  It is a really fun book to write.

However, my life outside of writing has been chaotic to say the least.  My bread-and-butter job wears me out during the week so when I get to my bed, I can barely keep my eyes open let alone write.  My weekends have been jammed pack to where I may have one hour each weekend to write, if that!  Why am I telling you all of this?  BECAUSE, you have to keep your momentum going when you are on a project.  If you let too much time slip, the story has a possibility of slipping as well.  I've heard that you should write everyday.  It isn't possible for me, but I do write at least once a week.  I set aside 1-2 solid hours.

 often get asked, "how do you find time to write?"  It is an easy answer, "I love writing!"  Nevertheless, when things get busy, I still have to carve out time.  Anything worth doing is going to take time.  There will be some level of sacrifice involved.  But when you are working in your passion, it won't feel like a sacrifice.  It will feel like you are exactly where you should be.  And that is how you keep the momentum going!  Happy writing!
