I just blogged about this very same thing: writing in small chunks. As a new mother I'm finding it challenging to structure my day period, but especially with writing. It's a daily struggle, but I am committed to finding time. Thanks writing for the article.

Like Devon I'm also a big fan of working on my fiction first thing in the morning. If I open that document before anything else (before emails, blogs, twitter, and client projects), I find it's usually some of my best writing fiction-wise. It's also a good way to kick-start my productivity for the rest of the day.

Perfect timing for me too! I've been working on increasing my productivity so that I can get more client work done every day, and finding that it works I've been wondering how I can also be sure to make time for my own writing -- besides blogging, I mean. I like the idea of allowing myself an hour to work on my fiction every day. Thanks for the encouragement!

How timely this is! It reinforces my recent decision to devote two hours, on at least three days a week, to developing my blog – not the technical side, not for promotion – but in following up on the ideas I've wanted to develop. I'll definitely look at your blog, Anne – in two hours! Thanks!

I completely agree. That's why I do 1K of fiction a day first thing in the morning. The quality is better then, and, no matter what obstacles come up in the day, I know I've got 1K more on my own projects than I had the day before.
