If you have 90 minutes available for writing, there's a reasonable chance you'll actually do some writing within that 90 minutes. If you have a whole day, there's at least three or four hours of other stuff you can do while getting ready to write... But that's me. As noted in the essay, my tips might not work for other people. As for books...I'm actually trying to get one started. We shall see. Even with 14 published (well, 13.5, since one was a limited run and almost entirely other people's material), it's still not easy to contemplate. [And you can also thank Bob Nardini of YBP; the essay was his idea.] Personally, I think huge blocks of time are a trap.

I think that I'll be able to use a number of the tips you offered. Aside from that, it helps me to see that I might not need huge blocks of time to do my writing in. Still don't see myself writing full length books any time soon. At least not solo.
