How do you find time to write?

Just like anything else. Time management. Figure out how much time you want to spend, block it out in your schedule, and maintain discipline about it. Start small - 30 mins twice a week (or whatever works). Make that time count, come to with a plan and execute then move on. Adjust how much time you put in based on how much value you get out.

Or, pick a topic or post you want to write about, spend free time throughout the week writing then post once. I have projects and writing pieces I've worked on and off over the course of months to a year. These are low priority tasks that should and do get pushed off for more important things, but I always have something in my back pocket in case I run out of shit to do.

I make time for it. Lunch hours at work, waking up early on weekends, during lulls. I've even posted stuff during the 2-3 minutes inbetween heavy sets.

Like rollo says as well, it gets easier as you go on, soon, this huge amount of work will be effortless, and you'll be amazed how much time you have

Shit, I screw around here and feel like i've done something. I really haven't. Thanks for the reminder to own my stuff.

I write on my iPhone exclusively. Often while taking a dump. I like to speak to ya'll while mostly naked.

250 words a day is 7000 words a months. You've go about 200 words in this post and it probably took you five minutes. 250 good words, the best words in fact, would take you 30 minutes.

I normally write if I have writer's block during my "real" writing.

If a topic is particularly interesting, I'll eat at my desktop and write more in depth then.

When you have something you want to say, you take some time to write it out, think about it, write it our some more.

Then click save.

20 - one minute moments, poop thoughts. Shower thoughts.

or you know, some of us just piss on the key board.
