Well, sometimes I am not too far from that--I have designated times and amounts for different tasks.<br /><br />I see your point about Goodreads, too. But while some of what I do there is networking, and I do think it's important to keep it up, much of what I do there is pure entertainment. I can't afford to let myself count that as writing time in any case, or it might be all I did! (Well, Goodreads and the forums at backpacker.com, my other on-line hangout).Rebecca M.

I do struggle, all the time, with the other demands, most of which feel more "real" than writing.Rebecca M.

My 'Writing' time is divided into authoring (includes major editing), publishing (which includes formatting, proof reading & my illustrations), marketing & promotion (including blogging), and management (e.g. checking sales, getting that tax number...). Authoring is not the biggest chunk. But blog posts dont get into that unless they are short stories. Just another way of doing things :)<br /><br />Jemima at <a href="http://jemimapett.com" rel="nofollow">Jemima's blog</a>Jemima Petthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110647375899927233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52364159500107393.post-40106351810136949802013-03-25T20:59:06.210-07:002013-03-25T20:59:06.210-07:00You raised some great points!

I'm pretty late starting the plan, and the reading, so we'll see how it goes!<br /><br />Julie, I forgot to mention that making lists of tasks IS writing if they are writing tasks you're listing (if you follow me).
