    Sometimes, its hard to find a perfect time to write. When do you set aside time to write stories? What often distracts you? Do you wish you had more time to write? Explain!

    I write whenever I feel like it. However, I typically make sure to get some writing done in the hour or two before bedtime. However, my curiousity drags me away from writing and into other stuff, something I wish happened less.

    I write whenever I want to. Nothing can really distract me unless if I'm needed urgently. I actually wish I would have more time in writing since college is coming back towards me. T^T' Oh well. *shrugs*

    I have almost 15 days without writing. My job and the university are taking me out of writing. I am hoping to have more time in the future.

    I usually write whenever the flow hits me. This can be really, really frustrating when my muse suddenly decides it wants to switch projects. I can force myself to write, but I'm much more distracted and generally don't get as much done. Writer's block physically hurts, that block is heavy.

    Just like the others, I too write whenever I decide to do so. I'm constantly in thought about events later or during the current stage of what I'm working on and that allows me to continue wherever I last left off. Of course, school is a leading factor on my time to write, so I usually stick to 1-2 hours a day spent on writing.

    I hardly have time to write anymore. I used to get in at least one hour a day, but now I just have too many random things popping up in my already full schedule. The only time I can write is about two in the morning, and everything written then is just a pile of gibberish when I look back at it when I'm fully awake.

    Only when I have time, and if writer's block hasn't decided to take over my muse.
    I've got so many ideas, but with no way to actually start, I'm not going to get anywhere. >.>
    I really really want to at least write the base for this original story I've been dying to get started on but I still don't know WHERE to begin. *sigh*

    Unfortunately school has taken over my life so I don't have as much time for writing, art, and playing video games. I write a lot of lore stuff in my notebook at school, but I don't have much time to put it to good use.
    If the moment hits me though I rush for my laptop or notebook to write it down before I lose it.

    I procrastinate often when I'm writing, so more time would definitely help! I often don't set a time to write, it's more of the spur of the moment for me to write. I don't think I would be as creative if I did something during a certain time, it takes away the magical element of surprise where your ideas just come to you off of free will.

    I never used to have time, what with school then tech ugh it was so annoying. Now that I have finished that, I found that writing is one of my many passions.

    I try to write as much as i can, I never set a time limit, but when writer's block hits then would shift, it's such a pain, haha.

    But when I get an idea, my mind works on it until it finished. But seriously writer's block is such a pain especially when you have a project to finish.

    I really don't, I write at random occasions, but I somehow make drafts on the train of what I write next. So, I usually know what I'm doing once I turn my PC on, and write away.
    I usually tell my readers to check often, because I update randomly, and even if I did set a deadline, I probably would have always missed it.

    I can only write when I have a burst of inspiration and no one needs me. It happens about four times a week and it lasts about two to three hours before I am out of ideas. Its sad because I love writing and I love my stories, but these inspirational boosts happen when I am busy and then writer's block sets in when I am free. Luckily I learned to combat it by keeping a notebook with my story notes with me at all times.

    I don't have a specific time during the day, but I usually always set time aside to write each day! I may not write much, but I do write each day! :) However, lately, it's been less than normal, as I've been distracted by school or video games.

    I write almost every day. As to what motivates to to write every day, I'm not sure. I just enjoy writing, 'Nuff said.

    I write whenever I feel like it. But sometimes my brain won't squeeze anything out, so when I have any sort of inspiration to write.

    Oh gosh. Whenever I feel like it, really. I'm so sporadic and random that I hardly have a set schedule but when my muse comes back to me I can write for hours and hours and hours.. and hours. Used to have phases where I tried to write every week but I couldn't keep up with that for too long. That's why it's better for me to write out plenty of chapters beforehand if I ever end up publishing something since it gives me more to fall back on. (b'')b

    I usually do it when I have time, which is about a few hours before bed.
