And yes, 10 minutes may be insufficient, but it helps!

I know every little bit counts... but ...10 minutes! I know every little bit counts... but I hope you doing more than 520 minutes (or 8 hours 40 minutes) writing work a year.<BR/>Mind you... thinking about it. If you are thinking about your script in the back of your mind for a week, and you focused those ten minutes on writing pages... rather than planning. It would be totally possible to get two pages written in ten minutes (I'm thinking of myself here when I'm on fire with a script and I know exactly what I'm going to write next). So continuing with this calculation. You'd get 1st draft done in under a year, and have time for polishing before the year is out.<BR/>Maybe you've hit upon the perfect way to write when you've got a full time job.Benedict Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161182056472310135noreply@blogger.com
