What do I do each day that does not contribute to my writing? LOL. Sleep, eat and socialize. I don't really want to get rid of anything. I'm liking life the way it is. Perhaps if I taught in another discipline this topic wouldn't have me rolling on the floor, laughing.
I have to make a daily promise to myself to get away from writing and reading in order to be a writer, if that makes any sense. I have to exercise, meditate and get back to center before I can write anything that doesn't sound like comments on a paper or an assignment of some kind.
As we move more deeply into a semester, my time for my own writing is inevitably eaten up. It's a rhythm that I've grown used to and have bent to accommodate rather than fight or sulk about. It seems that I've always done my work in pieces--like a quilter, maybe, or anyone/someone who has a full life.
That's what I said! The main thing that gets in the way of me spending time writing is all of the time I have to spend writing.
