The discipline of writing every day teaches many lessons. Some days you fill the writing session with wonder. You look forward to the writing time, words flow onto the page and the process seems effortless. Other days you don’t want to write, but as you sit typing, the words flow, and you write more than you would have imagined. There are days when despite your best efforts the words are crap.
Discipline makes you strong and you battle through, working and writing until you reach your daily goal. The chances are when you edit those hard-won words you find gems you didn’t recognize when you wrote. Truth is, even the words you wrote on a good day may be crap. Regardless, they are words on the page. Words you can edit. Words you can polish and shine to reflect your best story.
How is your writing discipline developing?

I agree with the discipline part and how they’re are times for it- but I find that data’s away from writing are crucial for me and theybhelpnthe disciplined times when I set a plan to follow –

Oh, I wholehearted agree Prior. If you know you need certain days off, by all means they should be on your schedule. While I don’t normally schedule days off for myself, i also have stopped beating myself If I make a conscious decision to skip a day. You have to do what works for you.

Yes – thanks for the affirmation my friend.
And I actually take seasons off – ha – not a day or two – but that works for me – and again, I think it just depends on the goals and the process each needs – which is the kind of stuff you write about often

Absolutely Prior. You have to discover what works best for you. If we were all the same life would be very boring. 😊

Great post! I’m so indebted to you for tempting me into committing to writing everyday! I love when it’s eleven p.m. I know I just have to write one sentence!! And so many times I end up with something I like!!

I am so happy for you. Sometimes the hardest thing is to start. It is surprising how many times writing just one sentence morphs and becomes so much more. And ending up with something you like is real win-win. Congratulations, Chuck.
