I had an up and down day today. It was “down” to start, and better to finish.
My current area for improvement writing-wise is the beginnings of these weeks. Somehow, I need to do a better job of preparing myself and getting psyched up and excited and specific on exactly what I’m going to get done Monday morning. I haven’t done that the past couple weekends. And, I *do* need my weekends, at least right now, to take a break. I feel that at the end of the week. But, I have to find a way to not let the weekend derail my momentum, which is what happened yesterday and today.
Sigh.
It’s never going to be a perfect process, I’m realizing. I should know that already, but sometimes dreams die hard 😛
It’s late already, so I’m not going to make this a super long one tonight, but I *did* end up getting work done, and it was really reinforced for me today what I need to do when I’m struggling to find the focus and the will to get my writing done: set a timer and then just sit down and start writing, even if it’s free-writing. I did that twice today and wrote over 1500 words. That is a strategy I can use to get myself in the zone.
We live, and we learn. Onto tomorrow. Looking forward to it!
Night 🙂
