This blog brought to you by Saturday and endorsed by Sunday. Ahh, the weekend. A time to relax for many of us. It can also be a time to get things done around the house or run errands because the week is busy.
The weekend can quickly get away from you. Today I woke up later than my normal 6:30 am. That is my latest get up time in order to get the kids to school on time. I am not a morning person. I slept in until 8 am today. Which is "sleeping in" when you have kids. It is only an hour and a half later but that is a long writing time. I could do a day and a half of word goals in an hour and a half.
So my point is proven just as I type this blog. Here it is 12:09 PM already. I spent most of the morning in PJ's drinking my coffee on this much cooler October morning. I showered and did a craft project with my middle child. When we were done I started to blog. She asked if we could go to the library. Since the other two kids and my husband went on a walk in the the woods I took her right when she asked. That also was about mid paragraph two during this blog.
Time slips away during the weekends especially when you have "extra" time to write. You have to plan your writing time on weekends if your weekend is anything like mine. You have to make time to write because life can be very busy or you can waste time being very lazy and relaxed. Even when times are lazy and relaxed like today time disappears for those that don't plan a writing time.
I suggest finding a time that others will not bother you. I usually write in the evening on weekends after everyone is in bed. When push comes to a lacking word count I will write when the family is watching a movie. Not ideal because I lose family movie time but not the worst time to not hang out with the family. Find time now to schedule writing time on the weekends in November. You have to make your writing intentional or you will not get to 50,000.
