Getting back into my story a day routine has been more challenging than I anticipated. Just as writing often leads more writing, not-writing simply perpetuates the not-writing cycle. Last week I wrote an update about the things that help me get my daily writing done. Today I will discuss the things that are
not helpful.
In order to protect my daily writing, I will not...
- ...allow one false start to sabotage the rest of the writing day or week.
- ...gripe or complain about writing. I'm doing what I love; there is nothing to complain about.
- ...rationalize or make excuses for not writing. Excuses take up energy that could be poured onto the page.
- ...procrastinate.
And if I do have a bad writing day I will...
- ...acknowledge and move on. I will not mentally flog myself until every ounce of creativity has been beaten from my brain.
After all, the point of this challenge is to jump-start my writing and in that regard, I've already made some progress.
