This is K.M. Wyland and you are listening to the 293rd episode of the Helping Writers

Become Authors podcast. Ever since the first of the year I've been playing around

my schedule quite a bit trying to perfect a way to keep my fiction writing front and center.

For years now, pretty much as long as I've been writing,

my designated writing time has been from four to 6 in the afternoon.

But of late, I've found myself really struggling to focus at that hour.

So what did I do?

I did what the experts have been telling us all along. I moved my writing time to

first thing in the day instead of the later afternoon I've spent the last few

weeks writing from 10 to 12 in the morning and I am loving it.

It's great to hit the writing first thing while I'm still fresh and before my brain is cluttered by email and

other concerns. Everybody's writing schedule is different, dependent on our

lifestyles, but if you can give morning writing a try, I highly recommend it.
