According to Schedule

I've read in numerous books that writers should have a writing schedule. In high school, I had no problem keeping a writing schedule. I wrote every night and probably should have scheduled breaks for meals, sleep, and friends.

Scheduling has never been a problem for me, especially because my entire life revolves around schedules. During college, my entire life was formatted to comply with my class schedule (i.e., when to meet, leave, assignment-due dates, test days, etc). Both my jobs during college were also designed around due dates and schedules. So, I have no problem following a schedule or meeting deadlines.

Even now I have deadlines for articles I write during my summer internship. Best bets are due Wednesday before I go home, and the Answer Book isn't due until Fall.

Hopefully, with an internship, job, and a baby (not to mention a cat that is as needy as a baby), I will have some time this summer to schedule in a little time to work on my novel.
