On time management
I'm practising efficiency by admitting I am sick today and spending it in bed. I''m actually about to shut down the laptop and do the thing you do when you are really sick - watch crappy TV.
So here is a great link via @tansyrr on Twitter for advice on time management. I have to admit that after running ASif for 5 years and working at indie press for nearly 4, I've begun to hear the subtext of writers - shorthand if you will for whether a particular project will ever be turned in. And the big No for me is when someone says it's hard to find time because they have kids/have a job. For me, that's code for "I want to be a writer and I like saying that I am a writer, but I don't really write." Because writers, write. They find the time and they make it happen. Those two are key to becoming successful - sure you need talent and IT but you also need to have actually committed and dedicated yourself to the task in order to have work to submit.
