I just found this article because I was Googling around--I'm writing a post about this very thing today--and wanted to link to it, if that's okay. I've been asked how I do it, and really, I couldn't tell you. I'm still unpublished but the only way to get there is to work. It won't happen if I sit at my desk and daydream about it. So thanks a LOT for the tips, especially the calendar one. That should be very helpful to a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants-er like me! Okay, back to work now... Great post!

This was my first visit to your site, and I immediately understand how seriously you take the work of writing. All of your suggestions ring true, as though from someone who has struggled with the issue personally and at great length, and it's nice to see them all compiled in one place. I would agree with Jeff that limiting Internet time is also crucial. Because movies are the biggest love my husband and I share, it has also been difficult to give up movie time with him to get my own writing done, but it's been necessary.... Great post!
