There’s lots of quotes on how to be a writer, and most of them are variations of “do the work”. Put the butt in the chair. Arrive at the page every day. Even if what you write is garbage and has nothing to do with the project you’re on, you should write, every day.<\/p>\n
During the months of November (NaNo!) and December, I hardly found time to write because of, you guessed it, my day job.
