A Day in the Life of a Writer with a Full Time Job: Finding Time to Write • Meredith E. Phillips

I wanted to share how a normal weekday looks for me as a writer with a full time job. I know a lot of us struggle to find and/or make time for writing on a regular basis and this is just how I'm managing to juggle things at this point in time. If you go back a couple years, my writing life looked a lot different and there was a lot less time for it. I'm sure if you skip ahead a year or more, things will have shifted again. So please don't take this video to mean this is how a writing life "should" look! I think you need to evaluate your own life circumstances and make the best choice for you when it comes to adding a writing routine to your day or week. ~ L I N K S ~ -Week in the Life video:    • A Week in the Life of a Writer (with a ful...   -Morning Routine video:    • My 2022 ✨ Morning Routine ✨ • Realistic Mo...   -Finding time to write exercise template (second download on page): https://www.meredithephillips.com/fre...
