I’ve had a rough go of the last few days. I am trying to get into the writing life routine that I so dramatically fell out of. I am trying to do so before the nanowrimo saga begins. The result is some tough writing days, especially in regards to to a handful of projects I am trying to clean off the docket.
I think the issue with the writing life for me is maintaining focus. With so many distractions in daily life it is difficult to stay on task for a long period of time. The build up and cool down is also an issue. If I want to write for any amount of time I need to spend an hour clearing my head and another after cooling down. The cool down usually comes with a wealth of critical analysis of what I wrote and how I wrote it. That part is useful.
Finding the time to do all this is hard.
