I’m pretty lucky in terms of how much time I could potentially devote to my writing.  I work four days a week, I’m single and I don’t have kids.  So I don’t have the demands on my time that a lot of other writers do.  But I still struggle to make the time to write.  In my case, it’s a question of getting distracted, especially by the Internet.

My fellow Clarion Souther, Ben, has more serious demands on his time.  It’s a lot harder to make the time when you have to young children.  But he’s still managed to almost finish a new novel.

* More insightful than the Collected Twitter Posts of Jar Jar Binks.

* More controversial than the implementation of decimal time.

* More entertaining than reading a history of object-oriented management strategies written in binary.

* Filled with more Fail than AmazonFail, RaceFail and the Fail Whale combined.

* Now with 20% more monkeys.

For your reading enjoyment we present the wise words and thoughtful thoughts of the unstoppable Sean Williams.
