Dedicated writing time helps me a lot too! Some seasons, I can get away with just popping in and out of the book when I have a moment, but this year, client work has been too unpredictable and crazy, and having dedicated time has really helped me stick to those goals.
Also remembering that I've done this before and so I can do it again. But I can really relate to what you're saying and it's so much harder to force yourself to write when it feels like you're up against a wall every time (this is me currently about 70% of the time as I make some shifts and focus on line edits) so I'm happy to hear the writing is coming back to you with more ease!
Yes! Remembering that I can do this again is so important because my brain is so quick to psych me out. Now I'm just hoping that I can find more time to write when I actually have the desire and inspiration to during the day. usually when I really want to write, I am not able. So hopefully we can change that. I hope you are doing well too even with your busy work-load this time of year! Do you freelance as well?
That’s exactly it, I’ll always want to write when it’s basically impossible 😆
I have a PR business that I started about 10 years ago doing press and marketing mostly for indie musicians. It’s a lot of fun most days (and a lot of boring emails others) but spring and fall are the busiest season whereas dec-march are very slow.
