Discipline
People who are Not writers think writers have all the time in the world. ""You're home - You're not doing anything, can you meet me? Can we talk? Do you want to go to lunch?"' "No. No. No!" Granted I'm not bringing in a pay check every week, still I am working and I need to be productive! Interruptions can be a nuisance. If you can, put your phone on silence and hibernate. Retirees assume they'll have plenty of time for their writing when so many will tell you--they're busier
