Working Full Time? When on Earth do I get to Write?

Beginning is one thing. I'm more interested how you keep going?


We're off the boat now.


I've spent a good couple of weeks getting our life sorted for land-living again, so I haven't written for over 18 days šŸ„ŗ.


There's far less life admin when you live on a boat, there's so much more time to write šŸ˜.


I start full time work on Monday, so that means I have to be really smart about how I get some writing in each week. I have no doubt my weekly word count will suffer šŸ˜•, but I've done a few things to help myself #keepwriting.


šŸ”…I've set up home screen shortcuts to my #googledocs manuscript on my laptop and my phone.

šŸ”… I've toggled on Google's 'Available offline' feature so I can access and edit my manuscript even if I don't have internet access.

šŸ”… I've downloaded Google Drive for Desktop and set it to mirror so my manuscript will sync between my phone and laptop.


Why have I done all these things? Because I read @betholearyauthor's Wikipedia page and discovered she wrote her first novel during her commute. So now that I'm working (again šŸ˜”) I'll be doing what Beth did! Writing on my commute to work. That'll offer up at least 1 hour of writing everyday, well, er, that's the goal anyway.


Wish me luck!
