Full of words and reading, if not writing
The need to write fiction, without the time, continues. I haven't had much success with taking three minutes here and there. But I'm not giving up and neither should you if you're struggling to find time to develop your stories. It may sound counterproductive, but reading is a good way to keep your own story urgent in your mind. Read your own work or someone else's. But do take time to read fiction. The way a writer decorates a phrase or coaxes the most out of a descriptive sentence may spur you on to have your own words ready to spill over when you do get a chance to sit down and write.
