I'm a parent of three small children, so I understand how precious time is. But just like anything worthwhile, you have to make an effort and maybe make a change to your habits to accomplish the goal in front of you. The same could be said about dieting, about learning a language, even about reading your Bible on a consistent basis. There are so many things vying for our time, but with a little extra effort and forethought you can make it happen.
What if you got up an hour earlier before the kids got up? What if once or twice a week you turned off the TV? What about using your lunch hour at work? What about your commute to work (use a voice recorder if you're the one driving)?
The hardest part is to get started. But I encourage you to try it for a week. See if you can write a introduction. See if you can write a chapter. Once the momentum gets started, it only gets easier.

Thank you for the positive encouragement.
I recently sent my work to be published. It is a collection of my own private thoughts in word, and I look forward for Tate Publishing to put a voice to it.
Keep up the good work you inspire us to search deeper and use our ability to write.
Thank you,

Just an entry a day, anywhere, anytime, will eventually form something spectacular. We all are unique in our thoughts, and to share is a blessing indeed. SO journal, please share. There is someone in need of what you vibrate on the page, just like food for the belly. Kim Ripley Hartt
My philosophy with publishing is that If people really want to know my story, they can be inspired through the people I inspire. No writing on my behalf necessary. I like the anonymity of this model.
