There are topics that almost all writers
report being told or asked; ‘Where do the ideas come from?’ and ‘I’m going to
write a book when I get the time,’ to name just two.
There’s an assumption behind there that all
it needs is time, and the hard part will be getting the idea in the first
place. Not so. The ideas are there for the taking (but that would be another
blog*).
As to having the time… how many jobs do you
know where time is the only issue? What about interruptions, crises that pull arrangements
off course…? Time management theory these days advises people to build in the
unexpected so that they don’t spend every waking hour generating frustration because
their day did not work out to a schedule that looked so good on paper.
Writing, as so many other activities, can
be derailed by a whole host of things, some predictable, some not. For instance,
how many people would list a love affair between two electronic devices as an concern?
*basically, the ideas shop.
