We have to make the time and schedule the time for the things that matter most to us or, as gilliebean says, they won't get done. Keep writing!

I schedule six to nine am every morning. Then I go downstairs and start the rest of the day. If my grandkids take naps at the same time, then I get another hour or so in the afternoon. I expect that will change when they start school in a few years.

It doesn't happen if I don't schedule it. But I don't try to do it every day. Most days; but not every day. And if I'm feeling inspired, I have a carte blanche to ditch anything and everything else to write. So that's my out: when I'm inspired, it trumps everything. But regardless, I do schedule time to write at least four days a week. I have to schedule it. It doesn’t happen if I don’t schedule it. But I don’t try to do it every day.
