Hi all. I think this topic is particularly relevant in the W1S1 thread. Plus, it's where I spend 99% of my AW time, so I feel like I've gotten to "know" several of you. Or at least I have enjoyable impressions of you. And I'm continually inspired by the fierce output you all generate.
So my question: How much time do you devote to writing in a given week?
I know we all have our own versions of work, chaos, responsibilities. We all write at different speeds, different numbers of drafts, etc. And a lot of writers go by word count, e.g. "I'll write 1000 words today even if my kids starve." I myself ultimately want to write 1500 words a day, or a bit over 10000 a week. But I struggle to find the time for 300 words a day, and I don't even have children!! This is why I've only written 13 stories in my 9 months of writing. :/
I'm also interested in ways to make time for writing, general strategies, whatever you feel like sharing.
