Hey everyone! It’s Clara Kensie, back with a new Question of the Week! Pretty much the only thing writers love as much as writing is talking about writing. So each week here at Adventures in YA Publishing, I post a question for you to answer. The questions cover all topics important to writers: craft, career, writers’ life, reading and books. Together we’ll become better writers by sharing tips and discussing our habits and practices.
What is your writing schedule? Early mornings, late nights, all day every day, in half-hour increments, on the train during your commute to work?

My answer: I work in an office two days a week. On the other three weekdays, I’ll whip through my to-do list of errands and chores as fast as I can, then dedicate the rest of the day to writing and writerly activities. I also have two of my author friends over every Thursday night to write. I rarely deviate from this schedule except for an occasional appointment or lunch date. I don’t like to write when my family is home, but I sneak in extra wordage whenever I can.
What about you? Do you have a regular writing schedule? Or do you grab writing time whenever you can?
