Don’t have blocks of time to write? Pockets work great!Release Date: July 25, 2026(episode 294) In my last post, I recommended you value yourself and your work enough to stop putting it off. The assignment: figure out where the time goes so you find time to write.

The good news is that even if you only have slivers of time available, a lot of writing rolls onto the page during these “Pocket Sessions.”

This post encourages you with quotes from famous writers who worked during Pocket Sessions and with practical tips to make the most of your time.
