As I write this, the house is dark and quiet. It’s also early morning and the stresses of the day haven’t arrived yet. A good time to write. Yes, yes it is, and I'm taking advantage of it. However . . .
I will manage to write some more during the hectic hours of the day ahead. I have an appointment at 10:00 A.M. and another one at 11. The 10 o’clock should run 30 – 40 minutes and it will take me about five minutes to walk to my 11:00 A.M. meeting. The 15- to 20-minute break between meetings is a chance to put a few words on the page. It' a tiny block of time, but I’ll get some words on the page. Guaranteed.
I know I’ll put words on the page because I’ve left myself an unfinished sentence to kick start my micro-writing session. I relish those tiny blocks of time to get a little bit of writing done.
By the way, that’s how James Patterson got started. Why do you think his chapters are so short?
