If truly committed, one can always find time to write–poet Salena Godden gets up at 4 am, and short story writer and novelist Jacqueline Crooks would write on buses and trains, commuting to her seven-day-a-week job. Not many people have that kind of commitment, and I am no exception. I mostly got my novel written by skipping the housework, writing when my kids were in school or asleep, or popping into my favorite cafe after work, with a sturdy pair of noise-canceling headphones.
