Hi, Everybuggy,

Hi, Everybuggy,

For those aspiriring writers out there who manage to write often, a question.  How do you manage to write on a regular basis?  I go to a school with a overload of homework.  Any helpful sugestions?

Homework. The word tastes sour in my mouth.

I, too, come home with so much homework that I don't have time. But I spread out my homework. Math, Reading, and Language Arts right when I get home, Social Studies after soccer practice, and then Essays right before, and after dinner. In between, I write. But I type my stories on the computer, because it's faster, and then while I'm doing something else, I sometimes think of the ideas for my stories, and then when I get the chance, type them.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions!

P.S.- What's life like on the Pieceful Pie Planet?  (Not too divided, I hope.)

I, too, have my own planet. It exists only in stories. From now on I'll put it in the location section.

I have that same problem a lot of the time. I don't write on a very regular basis, but my favorite time to write is on the weekends in the morning. I'll get up and sit down in my PJs at the computer and just write for an hour or so before breakfast. Occasionally, I'll also take out looseleaf at school and write during lull times - like when I'm done with a test and the class isn't over, etc.
