making the time to write - put it in the diary, and PROTECT that times lot. And WRITE during that time

Value my time more and schedule time block to focus writing

36:07
lack of organization
Gabriela Palomo
36:12
Also because I want to cram in this story several stories
Amy Lange
36:16
I get too close to see what others need to see, so I don't form a clear argument

I need to stay focussed on my story
