How many days a week do you write?

How many days a week do you find yourself writing if your only income is from your writing? Me I average 6-7 days a week for a few hours.

If its a short week I write 10-12 hours a day for 3-4 days. By short week I mean my other job of watching my grand kids.
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Well I'm a full time legal assistant so my answer may not help. I do still end up writing when I get home for at least 4 hours a day, 5 days a week.

I also write on weekends but I try not to spend the entire weekend working. When I find something to do with my daughter, I write late at night on the weekend.

So I'd say I write about 25-30 hours a day. Not bad for a part time job that I don't have to pay daycare for and can do at home.

I write everyday! Approximately 4-5 hours a day everyday of the week unless I decide to not write which is the wonderful thing about freelance writing; Flexibility!

I write for two masters: one that requires me to write and the other that allows me to write. I am a doctoral student and writing is a necessity. For this master, I often don't get the luxury of choosing a topic or a schedule. I am also a freelancer, and I structure my writing to meet my work and school schedule. If I am all caught up with schoolwork, then my muse takes over and I write what pleases me. Most weeks, I end up freelance writing maybe only about 5-10 hours per week. I am looking forward to finishing school so that I have more time for what I want to write!

I write everyday even though I don't make much money from my writings. Even when I am not writing, I will be thinking about my next writing.
When you work on your own and work from home, you tend to work more hours.

I used to write 5-6 days a week with a break on Sunday or Saturday depending on how I started the previous week. After taking on a second job, my writing has decreased to 2 days a week, if I'm lucky.

I like to try 3-4 productive hours a day, because my expenses are not very high. I can get away with part-timing it and I love every second! :)

I only write revenue share articles so I dedicate one day of the week to writing articles. My goal is to increase this to three days a week as my revenue share income increases and I don't have to rely on my other income sources as much.

During the summer when I was finishing up my novel I tried to put in 2 or 3 hours a day, everyday. Now that my son and I have started homeschool I'm lucky to get 1 hour a week in. He has youth league bowling on Thursdays which his father takes him to, sometimes I stay home and write. I need to try to put in more time on weekends but it seems like we always have plans.
