Priorities

Sometimes finding time to write is just a matter of priorities. For instance, I am happy to give up cleaning the house in order to write. However, some things come before writing, like eating for instance. Isaac Asimov wrote, "If my doctor told me I only had six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster." Although I appreciate the sentiment, that is not how I'd spend my last six minutes. I think I'd go outside and breathe the luscious air, even if it was raining. However, writing is enough of a priority that I get up before 6 a.m. to do it. I guess we all have our quirks.
