Writing schedules
Some people use the holidays as an excuse to do even more writing. Some people don't do any writing whatsoever over the holidays. Some people like to write when they're busy; when they're bored; when they're tired; late at night; first thing in the morning; in maths class; on the bus; on the train; at a desk.

3 Day Novel Contest.

HELLO FELLOW WRITERS! I need a little help. I am outlining my novel at present. I have the character sketches done and I know what I want to do with the plot. I even know the general area that I want to set my book, at least in my mind's eye. I wanted to ask the community: What do you do for settings?

Question . . .
Reading over my current story (it's been a fews weeks since I've worked on it), my main character just informed me that she has an ace up her sleeve to get out of her dilema.
