Struggling

I'm just wondering how other want-a-be writers set up their days so that they can write.  What is your routine?  What time of day is the best for you?  What inspires you?

You see, I have all these voices in my head all wanting my undivided attention.  Try as I might, they refuse to take turns.  I end up trying to give them all the attention they desire but we never seem to get anywhere.  Thus writing stalls.

I also have a family which is another problem.  I get going on a thought and there is always someone who wants me to do something for them.  Family = writers block. (As I'm writing this, my husband has come in and wants to talk.)

I'm just feeling lost and alone on this writing journey and I don't know where to begin.  I know I'm a beginner writer and I'm not very good with my prose...yet.  But I'm working on it.  Others always seem to have interesting things to say but I don't feel that I do.  My brain feels empty most of the time and thinking hurts.

Well, as usual, I thought I had some time to write but now I don't.  Duty calls and I must go. 

Cheers,
