I’ve become curious as to how much time I actually spend writing (or trying to write) in a day. Thought keeping track of it might...
Well, honestly, it’s either going to help or make me very depressed, but here we go

So it’s 7AM, my 4 yo is the only kid up and she’s watching Sesame Street. I have tea, I’m about to get breakfast and hope that my computer charges while I work on revising a chapter in hard copy.
9ish AM, and I think I got about 50 min of writing in those 2 hours? Edited 3 pages and added 4 more longhand pages to the scene. Time to do chores and mom stuff now.
2 PM-the 4 yo is down for a nap/quiet time, so time for me to work on more revisions. I have done about 20 minutes of business-ish stuff but mostly laundry, conversations with my kids, reading to my 4 yo, lunch, and various online food ordering chores.
As a homeschooling aside...we& #39;re never super structured, but technically we& #39;re on "break". When we& #39;re not on break, I would have done more hands-on schoolish type stuff with the younger kids in the morning while the older kids might have had some online classes.
But mostly I homeschool by shoving books and art supplies at people, watching interesting documentaries, and letting them run around outside a lot.
All right, nearly 5 and I have to knock off now. I got distracted by Twitter till 2:30 and then... I should have used a timer, because I& #39;d write for 20 minutes, then have to stop, then write some more... but I think I got over an hour that time altogether?
Anyway, I typed in 1600 words on the scene I was working on--editing and adding to the hardcopy writing I did this morning. The ms is over 220k now, but I think I& #39;m going to lop off the pre-existing conversation to make room for the new one, so it will probably go back down.
(If you& #39;re keeping track, yes, that is two layers of editing on the same scene today.)
Writing while I cook now...
