When it is Holiday weekend do write more articles or less articles?

I know what you mean unique16. I write the least during the weekends because everyone is at home and my husband is quite unhappy if he sees me on the computer all the time when he's at home. I used to have to share the computer with my daughters. But now that I got myself a netbook, and her aunt gave her a laptop, I have the desktop pc all to myself but still I cannot write during the weekends because I guess weekends are time for the family.

I think it is more important that you get the household stuff done. I always say I am going to use the time off to get caught up on stuff at home and I never do because I end up staying in front of the computer. You are going to have to make a schedule with your daughter whether it is a holiday weekend or not. Writers and artists are not like other people and we don't keep the same hours/schedule. The fact that it was a holiday means your daughter did not need to use the computer to get an assignment which means her using it is not a priority. She can use the computer at times you definitely will not such as when you are making dinner. If you want to write for money or for a career you have to set some boundaries for your family. The internet has created a lot of opportunities for writers but you have to work really hard at it for a while for it to pay off.

I happened to write more this time as hubby was at work, and I am getting ready for a trip. I missed a lot of days in May, and was trying to get as much in as possible before leaving again. I will take the laptop today, but I probably will have little or not time on it. Hubby just feels that it will be good communication.

usually when i have more time i am able to write more articles and respond to more discussions but not last bank holiday monday. I spent most of that revising and should probably be revising now :) i got some exams coming up, but ah well, gotta rest the brain and all that

Hi I wrote a couple of articals this past long weekend in the U.S. and it seemed as if no one replied,where as I usually get replies any other time.I will not write on long weekends anymore. May I ask you a question please ? When do you think is the best time to post an artical for the most exposure : the morning or the evening? Have a great day

Definatly a lot less - there is so much more to do around the house and garden as well as the sun to tempt me outdoors

I tend to do less on holiday weekends and on weekends in general because I need a break, too! I work online every day otherwise. I think to be at my best, I need to come to work refreshed.

I always get less written on the weekends and holiday weekends are worse. My husband is home on the weekend and he never seems to want me to be on here as there is always something more important in his eyes for me to do. This weekend was that way as we had a lot of work to catch up around here with the horses. I was just about at the barn all weekend so not much writing got done and now I am hurrying to catch up. I have an article that must be written today and I am suffering from writers' block on it.

I don't work as much on line sometimes on weekends or holidays. It really depends. Like this weekend I went out of town so I ended up not working too much. But a lot of times I work more because I have more time to devote to it.

I usually write more articles on the holiday and holiday weekends. What's odd is that last year I had to work all four days of the holiday weekend and still did some writing of articles. Yet, this year I had plenty of time but less time to write. I went to a party, did some shopping, took a test for a job, and thus got no writing done.

Holidays and weekends are my much awaited time of the week, because I can write more articles and do more household chores than weekdays wherein I am already too exhausted from my day job. Maybe it's just a matter of time management, 'coz for me when it's weekend or holiday, I do all my household chores in the morning and when I'm already done with it then that's the time I'm going to sit infront of my PC and write my articles.

hi unique! yeah we are in a same boat.for me weekend is always my 'family day'.i seem to write less rather than the other days.every weekend i need to get back to my mom's house so i will spend most of my time with the other family member.but i will looking for some of that time to spend in front of my laptop.:)

I write less, because I try to take time off then to do other things, and just write during weekdays. It might sound strange to some, but I have found this is the best way for me.

I couldn't agree more. When I got laid-off I tried to write articles at home and for a while it was very easy as I got into a routine of writing and marketing while my husband was at work, but now he is retired and occupies my time more. I still get several hours to write but it's not the same. I get interrupted to cook or do chores. In a way it's a good thing though. Spending too many hours on my laptop has made me fatter and lazier. Not healthy at all and I am all too well aware of this. As long as I still write daily, I can't complain and so I don't. :)

Yep. I tell myself I have more time to do my online sites, but when the weekend comes, I tend to do other things more. Like cleaning our room, or the whole apartment, or doing the laundry and all those stuff, so at the end of the day, when I don't have anything to do anymore, I feel so tired that I would just forget about going online. LOL. I think I really earn more if I go online during the weekdays.
