Thread: Finding time to write

I am currently in the process of writing my first book for children and I would like to know how best to timetable in my writing. I am a full time teacher and I am a mother to two young sons. Needless to say, finding time in my day to write is hard and I am struggling to get my book done.

Is there anyone who might be able to give me some advice, having been in a situation similar to mine or who simply has some good ideas?

Thanks so much,
Steph

Just as you make time to do lesson plans before class, you're going to have to set aside a certain time that you can write. This is more easily done if you have someone who is helping you take care of the kids. From the other people I know who have full time jobs, children, and still manage to find time to write, it isn't easy. If you have young children who go to bed at 7 or 8 o'clock, then you can probably squeeze in an hour after they go to bed.
