The "Perfect Time"

[digthewriter]

It will never be the perfect time to write. Even what you think will be the perfect time to write won’t be the perfect time to write. Maisel told a story of the author James Jones who was one of the lucky few to make a heap of money from his writing. Jones, being a generous guy, wanted to help “some poor writers he knew by giving them enough money so that they could quit their days jobs and write.” And do you know what happened to those writers who finally had all the time in the world to write? They didn’t write a single damned thing.

I've been working on other projects today and I was just looking for something but I couldn't decide what I wanted to post XD
Thanks again!

This is a great story too! So true!
I think it just takes dedication no matter how much time you have.

I've been saying for years that people make time for the things that are important to them.
Which is making me take a not so friendly look at my own writing time or lack of it...

I wrote so much more when I had a job, it's not even funny. I wrote on my lunch breaks. A solid uninterrupted hour every day.

The perfect time to write is when I'm at work trying to avoid work amirite
