A Good Day to Write

Today was a good day to write. However, before I had to go to work, my husband and I had important business to take care of. I must admit that if I cannot do anything else, I sure can procrastinate!

Procrastination is the writer's worst enemy, next to that chatterbox called the "inner critic." You know, that voice in your head that constantly berates everything you write. It seems like you can never get anything right. Of course, this results in writer's block and an ever-growing pile of crumpled papers. Why? Because of all the constant rewriting of your piece!

To break the hold that procrastination has over me, I think I will start by setting up a specific time to write. The tricky part is actually sticking to it! Another thing that should help me is to designate a writing spot. I could go there at the specific time and write, write, write.

I look forward to having a regular writing routine. If I do not come up with one, how am I ever going to write those books I want to write?

Until next time...

Happy Writing!

Falling off the Writing Wagon

It has been a while since my last post. For some reason, I fell off the writing wagon again. Maybe it is because the last three years have been rough. Unfortunately, I lost my passion and drive to write. Of course, I am sure that there are others who have suffered the same plight as myself.

Since it is March and spring is just around the corner, what better time than now, to pick up where I left off? Just to make it a bit easier to come up with a writing schedule, I think I will look around for a blog challenge. I cannot go wrong with that, right?

I have plenty of books with writing prompts, so I have no excuse for being out of ideas. I just have to work on breaking the procrastination streak.

I can do this!
