There’s just one thing you should try to keep at least some time for, (16) your writing—and that’s reading. Any writer needs to read as much and as widely as they can; it’s the one (17) supporter—something you can’t do without.
Time is finite. The older you get, the (18) it seems to go. We need to use it as carefully and as (19) as we can. That means prioritising our activities so that we spend most time on the things we really want to do. If you’re a writer, that means—(20)—writing.
