Writers write. Writers who get published complete work and submit that work to agents and editors. It’s how it works.
The way to write for publication is to commit to it. That means nothing–and no one–stands in the way of your writing goals.
For 2012, consider taking this pledge:
I ____________ (<-your name) do solemnly swear to devote _________ amount of time each day to Sacred Writing Time. That means no one and nothing disturbs this time, including myself.
I will work at ___________________ (<-location). When you, the undersigned, see me at this location, you will respect my Sacred Writing Time Pledge and not disturb me unless there is blood flowing from multiple places on someone’s body.
Signatures: __________________(<-yours) _________________________(<-your family’s)

Love the new look of your website. So pretty!
My sacred time is weekly rather than daily. The pledge is a great idea.
Happy New Year!

Loving the pink!
I think you need some enforcement language in that family part…;)

Thanks, Ramona. Mine will also probably be weekly.
Happy Writing in 2012!

I hope everyone signs up and sticks to it. Don’t make me use my enforcement language. (LOL, Kathy!)
