Are you convinced that you have "no time to write?"

Perhaps you want to write, but life gets in the way.

Or maybe you've put off writing until the kids are at school, you're less busy at work, or you've retired from work.

Dear Fellow Writer

If there's one thing I've learned in 30 years of writing, it's that no one has time to write – and that includes full-time writers. Life will always crowd out your writing, if you let it.

When I started writing novels, way back in the late 1970s, I had three small children and managed a business.

Every few weeks, a migraine headache sent me to a darkened room with a bowl of ice. I soaked washcloths in the ice and laid the cloths on my temples to get some relief from the agony. Despite the pounding behind my eyes, and the fear my head would explode, I felt guilty – I was resting, when I had so much to do… and yet, despite my frantic, chaotic life, I wanted to write.

And I wrote.

I was busy. I had NO time, not even for migraines, let alone the luxury of writing.

And yet – writing helped me to live. I noticed that on the days when I wrote something, I was more relaxed, and happier. Writing let me be myself.

This was a paradox. Yes, writing made me happier. But the act of writing made me intensely anxious too. In those days, I hadn't heard of "creative anxiety". When I sat down and faced my IBM Selectric typewriter, my hands shook as I sandwiched carbon paper between two sheets of bond, then rolled them into the machine.

On the one hand, writing made me feel better… so I wrote late at night, and very early in the mornings. On the other hand, each time I sat down to write, I faced intense fear.

If you're going through this same process: you want to write, something within you compels you to write… and yet, when you manage to snatch some minutes to do it you're so anxious you feel physically ill, I sympathize. It's HARD.

Let me make it easier for you. I'm going to share with you the methods I've learned to not only find time to write, but also to make writing fun and exciting too.

The simple strategies and techniques I want to share with you have worked for me. Every prolific and successful writer I've spoken with uses some form of these tricks to get their writing done – no matter how busy they are.

You can find time to write, and you can conquer creative anxiety forever too

Stressed? I'm sure you are. When you want to find time to write, you sit down at your computer thinking of the 1001 things you have to do. Conversations replay in your head.

You stare at the blinking cursor, and for long minutes not a word comes to mind. Then you write a sentence, and think: "This is nonsense. I have nothing to say."

That's stress talking.

It took five years of writing before I realized that stress kills creativity and looked for ways to manage my own stress. Once I realized that creative anxiety was complete normal (it didn't mean that I was a hopeless writer who couldn't write), writing became much easier, and I wrote more… And since I was less stressed about writing, that sense of relaxation flowed into the rest of my life.

I studied the work of Dr Herbert Benson, who wrote The Relaxation Response, and read everything I could find on time management. Once I learned to relax, I found time to write, and became much more self-confident. No coincidentally, I became more prolific.

You can do this too: you can find time to write, even if you have "no time", and you can eliminate stress and become self-confident too.

Here's what happened once I learned to manage stress:

I got out of my own way, and stopped over-thinking my writing. I learned to work with my subconscious mind… I let my subconscious do most of the work of writing, and I become much more prolific, quite naturally, without straining;

I eliminated writer's block – writing was enjoyable;

Because I enjoyed writing, I enjoyed my life more. Although I still suffered migraines, I had them much less often. Most years, I had one or two, rather than 20;

I wrote more, and I wrote every day. Even on the busiest days, I managed to write a few hundred words;

I was happy, no matter what was happening in the rest of my life. I knew that for me, for whatever deep psychological reasons, writing was essential, and when I wrote all was right with my world;

I recognized the symptoms of stress, and had the techniques to deal with it whenever it arose. I had fewer illnesses, I slept well and my insomnia vanished for good.

You can find time to write, too. And you can become stress-free, and enjoy your life.

Introducing Time to Write: Build Your Writing Career Minute by Minute

Everyone's life has stages. When you're young, school takes up your life. Then you're building your career, and if you marry, you have children to nurture. In mid-life, your career has taken you as far as it's likely to, and you change careers. Your children leave home, and another stage of your life begins.

Each and every stage of your life brings challenges. And sadly, everyone's life has disasters and tragedies too. No one escapes unscathed.

If you're a writer, you somehow find time to write, whatever stage of life you're in – or if you don't find the time, you're dissatisfied and unhappy, and wish that you could.

Over the years, one of my students' biggest challenges has been finding the time to write. Because I've always been a productivity and time management junkie, some 15 years ago I wrote a book on time management for Prentice Hall, and I've continually refined my own work flows.

Finally one student too many told me he had "no time to write", and I decided to write a guide to show that you CAN have time to write, no matter how busy your life.

In Time To Write: Build Your Writing Career Minute By Minute, you'll discover:

The two secret tools I use, and all successful writers use in some form, to find time to write, no matter what else is happening in their lives;

How to eliminate stress and anxiety from your life, for good. This has immense benefits for your health, and for your relationships;

How to recognize your emotions, and work with them. Although emotions are powerful, you shouldn't be ruled by them;

How to prevent burnout, and increase your energy;

How to write wherever you happen to be, because you have everything you need with you;

How to save time by structuring your writing projects simply and easily, so that there's no stress at all, and you enhance your creativity;

How to complete your projects without strain and hassle, by depending on your subconscious mind;

How to clear your email Inbox – email shouldn't rule your life;

And much more.

In Time To Write: Build Your Writing Career Minute By Minute, you'll find the answers to your "no time" challenges, and you'll get a lot of writing tips too. No matter who you are, and what stage your life and writing career are at, I can say with confidence that you'll learn skills which will not only help you to find the time to write, but which will also make writing much more fun for you. If you're not prolific, you will become prolific, even if you can spare just a few minutes here and there because you're so busy.
