Making time for everything.

The best advice I ever read or got was from author Stephen King. "If you don't read and write 6-8 hours a day you will never be a good writer."
I find that advice applies to anything and everything for skill or job wise. So I've been coming up with a solid schedule to hammer down for both writing and art. While of course living, going to work, and sleeping.
Its sound advice but to be taken with a grain of salt on most days. Why? Limitations, procrastination, laziness, and fear. "That shouldn't stop you from doing it?" Of course it shouldn't, and it definitely should not. That's why I made a sign that says "you should be working". I read a little a day now, I'm going for one step at a time so as to not get bored, and to work one page at a time until it starts to flow better. I have a tendency to over do it but jumping straight in, which is why I haven't done so in a while. I'm trying to treat it seriously and respectfully by not overwhelming myself or the quality of work.
