Write Here, Write Now

The best lesson I've learned about writing is that you need to do it "right here, right now."

I used to think that I needed to set aside time from my regular schedule to write when doing an assignment or even free writing for myself; I needed to make an hour or so of time free to be alone and get my thoughts straight. This is certainly true in some cases, but I've come to find that, in fact, sometimes jotting down ideas in between classes or during lunch produces some of my best work. To any writers struggling to find time in their day to write, I suggest trying this out for yourself: if you have 10 minutes in between classes, or a free five minutes during work, find a post-it note/your planner/a blank sheet of paper and write whatever comes to your mind... when you revisit your writing later, you'll be surprised what can come out.
