Reading time: 26 seconds

To the question, "Honorée, I'd love to write a book, but between my full-time job, kids, and everything else ... where would I find the time?"

My response is: "Do you have 15 minutes?"

If the answer is, "Yes," then you have time to write a book. It'll take the better part of a year, but you can do it!

Here's the math:

• 15 minutes a day x 5 days/week x 48 weeks in a year =
• 250 words (totally doable!)
• = 1,250 words per week
• = 60,000 words in a year

That's a (very long) book, my friend (or several short ones). Written in the "cracks" of your schedule.

You're never going to have time to write a book. You have to reserve the time, commit to the time, and use the time you've reserve and committed to ... for your writing.

In There Is No Such Thing as Writer's Block, I break down exactly how to:

🎯 Clear the decks (decide when, where, and how you'll write)

🎯 Set the stage (prep your space and mindset)

🎯 Protect your writing time like it's sacred (because it is)

One of my favorite tips? Using the strategy of mise en place—just like chefs prep their ingredients, prep your writing space before you need it. When your writing block comes (no matter how brief it may be), you're ready to write (and not have to get organized).

I wish I'd known during my first really terrible year that I could find a way to write, I know it would've helped me. I hope it helps you. 🩵

Tomorrow, I'm sharing my fun "alter ego" trick.
