Welcome to the Guestbook!
I’m always eager to read your comments about my books and stories, so please feel free to pitch in. Here are a few things for you to know:
1) I answer the messages here personally.
2) No message shows up here until I actually answer it to prevent spam and other inappropriate postings. So there will sometimes be a delay before your message posts, especially if I am traveling.
3) Teachers, a gentle request: Please do not have multiple children send me variants of the same message. A group email is much easier to respond to and not such a drain on my time. My thanks in advance for being alert to this.

Dear Mr. Coville,
So, I have always wanted to be a writer. But cause of school, i have no time. What should I do? On weekends, I am busy with homework and writing books take a lot of time. I really dont like waiting so to wait 10 years until i can have a job is bothersome.
Sincerley,
Sara

Hi, Sara -
Ah, I understand your predicament and, sadly, I have to tell you there is no easy answer. The truth of the matter is that people who really want to write will find a way to make time for it. When I was a teacher I used to get up at five in the morning so I could have an hour or two to write before heading off to school.
For almost everyone, making the time to write means giving up some time from something else.
All best,
BC
