I have found that using my tea breaks (5 - 10 min) and my lunch break (30min) at work gives me enough time to write either a couple of poems, if I am that way inspired, or a chapter on my ongoing saga. Who needs re-runs on TV when your characters take hold of your life and decide that it is time for them to develop in ways you have no control over. If you look at all that time in one day, you will actually see how to fit your day around your writing even if you work full time. That recorder is a great idea as something as simple as driving down a road in autumn and watching a wrinkled golden leaf flutter down from a tall tree can be remembered, not only the mental image but the atmosphere around it. It is amazing at how reading these little memories can shift you back into gear when you have a writers block too.
