Getting up extra early to write!
My writing process needed help because there was a lack of it sometimes! I recently found that by setting my alarm back one hour I could write for an hour before I went to work. I'm not a morning person so it is hard to to but once I get going I'm always glad I did. What ways do you sneak in some writing?

setting your alarm 15 minutes earlier every day sounds like a great idea!

Nancy: Your process sounds like a great idea! Wow, but getting up at 4 a.m. every morning. I hope you don't mind me asking, but what time are you going to bed at night? Are you getting plenty of sleep? Thanks.
Coleen, I had read someplace, if you set your alarm 15 minutes earlier every 3 days, your body adjust very naturally to the change. I did this in writing my Memoir, Diary of a Vet's Wife, and reached a point where I was at my computer each morning at 4 a.m. with a hot cup of coffee, where I could write for 2 1/2 hrs before getting ready for work. It worked out great!! And now I'm an early riser naturally. :)

I do both too! morning and evening writing, computer typing and pen and paper.
