I have to sleep normally--from around 11pm to 6:30am. I can't stay up any later because it keeps my husband awake, and he has to get up even earlier than I do. It's figuring out what's important. I set aside time to write--a half hour at lunch, 15-30 minutes between exercise and dinner, Friday nights, and Saturdays. I cut out a lot of reading, movies, tv, internet, anything that takes away from writing. I made certain to fly past my word goal this week because I'd had a trip planned for the last couple months. But I'm still taking my notebook with me, so that if there's time, I can write. I keep my phone or ipod with me all the time so that I always have that to put down notes. I keep my phone by the bed to jot down anything that comes to me then. If I get an idea anywhere that kinda thing's not possible--in the shower, driving--I get it down as soon as I can.
This works for a lot of people; it doesn't work for everyone. But for myself, it works, and it has the added bonus that the more often I write, the more words I write, the more ideas I get.

I banged out a timeline tonight covering roughly 3000 years of history and major conflicts and shifts in political power. Its not anything I'd ever publish or add anywhere but it's helping me get a handle on the backstory of the countries and the motivations of the major players.
