Dan Brown says he writes even on vacation.

I say “write everyday,” but I feel like I’ve been running a million miles an hour since school ended making notes and writing sporadically.

Vacation, visitors, other work – writing consistently becomes challenging when I’m out of my normal schedule.

Unlike Dan Brown who sticks to his schedule, I find it difficult to ignore them when family is visiting,  difficult to schedule vacation activities for afternoon.

I’ve found spending a few moments in the morning or evening writing, before or after the craziness of the day helps. But it’s not enough for me. But once the holiday ends, the company is gone, and the house is once again quiet, I’ll be able to do double time.
