hmpfI did end up writing something, for the second time in the last week or so, actually. First time FS (the old Frankenstein story - it's been cut up and rearranged yet again. I think it's nearing completion.), second time my scary HP AU (yes, I actually started continuing that. Blame it on my spending some of my procrastination time on Fiction Alley. And yes, I know that there isn't a lot of the kind of stuff I like on Fiction Alley. I also know where to look for the really good stuff - but I'm kind of afraid of that, as I don't have time to really fall into fics now.)
Now, what with the 'can only write properly when under RL stress' phenomenon, writing clearly is a form of procrastination for me. Yet, it doesn't feel like procrastination. It doesn't leave me feeling empty but fulfilled, and I like the results. I like what I'm writing, I think I'm getting fairly good at it. So, clearly, stopping to write isn't the solution here.
But it's encroaching on my study time, and that is bad.
Still, better writing in my study time than rearranging my books or sorting my laundry.
No; what I need to learn is how to manage my time so I can do both, study *and* write, more efficiently.
Only, how do you do that?
I also need to factor in time for goldsmith's work, as that is another creative area that's getting rather short shrift at the moment, and that I'd like to do more in.
Plus, time for a job, a real, paid job. I need money to live.
Any suggestions on how to squeeze all of this into a normal week, seven times 24 hours? 'Cause I have no idea.
