A while back I read Ainé Greaney’s book Writer with a Day Job and told you how much I liked it.

Ainé either has a Google Alert on her name or some kind of spidey-sense, because she stopped by to thank me and asked me to write a guest post at her blog.

I’m honored to be the guest on her blog right now. Go take a look and check out Ainé’s site for more tips on getting the writing done, y’all. Also, if you’re trying to figure out this working for The Man thing and still trying to finish your novel, go get a copy of her book. Lots of helpful tips for finding time, and then some firestarters for when you do.

Maybe it doesn’t go without saying (I’ll say it!) that you can use getting-the-writing-done advice for almost any other pursuit you think you don’t have time for. Reading, knitting, scrapbooking, talking to friends, writing letters. If it gets pushed to the bottom of the list while you’re home, think about how you might take it on your lunch hour instead.

Let me know what you think of my guest post, and thanks to Ainé for the opportunity.
