To keep writing during the summer break, set small goals that fit the time you really have, and write when it is quiet: early in the morning, during a quiet hour in the afternoon, or late at night.
You may be a college student on a break at the end of the semester, or a teacher enjoying time off work and wondering how to keep it productive. Maybe it is time to work on that book or short piece that has been on your list for a long time. Here are some things that can help you follow through.
Set realistic goals
You are out of your normal daily routine, so you will probably not get as much work done as usual. You are likely squeezing your creative writing in between other activities, like meeting friends or going out. Sometimes you will have several hours for writing, and sometimes only 15 minutes. So set a word goal that you know you can reach in the time slot you have. If you don't, you might not get anything done at all.

Wake up early
A vacation is a time when hardly anyone sets an alarm. But the morning hours are precious if you want to write something creative. There are no distractions, and you don't miss any of the activities you planned with your friends.
If working in the morning is not your thing, why not disappear for a while in the afternoon? Maybe there is a coffee shop nearby. Or close the door to your room, or go the old-fashioned way: find a closet to hide in, write, and hope that inspiration strikes you from the coat hangers.
If you spend the whole day with a big group, nobody will even notice that you were gone for a while.
Stay up late
Inspiration comes in many forms. If you are a "nocturnal writer", or just use that term to describe your amazing procrastination skills, snuggle up in your bed, sleeping bag, or couch with your laptop and type out even 50 words or so. Many writers find that the hours when they are supposed to be sleeping bring out some of their best work. Read more about why writing at night helps.
Check and edit
When the break is over, check all of your work for spelling and grammar mistakes, for example with the Spell Checker, and then edit it ruthlessly.
