30 Days of Not Writing
After writing for a while, have you stopped?
I feel like when a writer stops writing, they are trying to drive themselves mad. There have been many times I took breaks in writing.
Day 1- You didn’t write—no big deal.
Day 2 - You are tired and will go to sleep instead, so you are rested for tomorrow’s writing session.
Day 3 - Oh, that show you wanted to watch is on during your writing time. It has a character that would maybe help you develop yours.
Day 4 - Soccer practice in 100-degree heat.
Day 5 - Reading a friend’s blog. They are so good.
Day 6 - Late night trip to store for ice cream.
Day 7 - You are so irritated by everything today. No way you are writing. You are too mad at nothing.
Day 8 - Facebook.
Day 9 - Walking the dog and getting out in nature. What a beautiful day to write about tomorrow.
Day 10 -The book you have been waiting for comes in, and you start reading it because it is like the book you have been trying to write.
Day 11 - You must sleep because you feel like crap after staying up all night to read.
