No Time To Write That Book? Try Emailing Yourself

Have you always wanted to write a book, but you don't have much time? One convenient option is using your SmartPhone, iPad or other tablet to write via email.

While you may not have time to sit down at your desktop or laptop and write for an hour each day, it's easy to carve out a few minutes here and there by dashing off a few lines throughout the day in the form of emails to yourself.

 

While standing in line at the bank, the post office or the grocery store or while waiting for your turn at the barber shop or beauty salon, you can use your phone to type out a few lines of your work-in-progress and email them to yourself.

Instead of thumbing through the latest edition of Us Weekly and living vicariously through overexposed celebrities while in the dentist's office or the bathroom, use your own imagination to escape your drab surroundings and draft creative-writing emails. 

If you do this every day, the emails add up to chapters, and the chapters will eventually become a full-length book. At the end of a week, if you cut and paste your emailed prose into a Word file and print them out, you just might be surprised at how much writing you were able to accomplish during what would otherwise be unproductive, wasted time.
