Gretchen’s quote is brilliant. There are days I don’t want to write, or the day has been cray-cray, and it is late, and I want nothing more than to go to sleep. The magic happens as I write my one sentence, and suddenly I have written a paragraph or a few hundred words. They add up, fast.
Even if it is late, I try to make time to write. Sometimes I nod off and wake hours later with a glowing laptop screen and my face bearing the impression of the keyboard. It is a good thing I love writing.
How do you keep your writing habit strong?

I thought I knew the answer to your question, in fact I was sure I had it nailed. Until recently…
I never doubted my ability to find the magic every time I picked up a pen, but either my advancing years, or the cold weather has knocked one of the wheels off my buggy… Something I will be addressing in the New Year, as I’m sure I’m not ready to stop just yet…

Keeping things going in the holiday season is a challenge. And sometimes we need a break. The challenge is in walking the line. When do you push yourself and when do you? It sounds like you need a break. Then you can start the New Year with a bang. ❤

I have a feeling the ‘break’ is ongoing. I have tried to fight it, but it seems to be winning. Roll on the New Year!

I write a certain amount every week. I try not to write everyday because I feel like I might burn out. But I stick to my weekly goals. It is still a habit for me, just with longer intervals in between.

It seems like you have the important part nailed… sticking to your goal. It is important to do what works for you, Betul Erbasi. ❤

Between work, kids and being under the weather, I know that anything I write won’t be worth its weight in digital ink. If I can’t find the umph to write, I will browse through some articles like this for motivation. Thanks for pulling a few sentences out of me!

There are days when even a few sentences are a major accomplishment. While they might not be wonderful, you never know what new ideas they may spark. I hope you feel better soon, my friend. ❤
