That is too regimented for me and I need to have days where I can just skip it. I'm just hoping to get the big word count goal reached by the end of the year, which means writing every day isn't absolutely necessary.<br /><br />I find when I can't write something meant for publication, I write silly, fun stuff like fan fic just until I can go back to writing my original stuff. My writing goals only require me to write any fiction at all, so I don't limit it to original, publishable fiction.Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552707317670752823.post-2299213512984941152016-04-07T13:28:01.665-04:002016-04-07T13:28:01.665-04:00I've always disliked the advice to write every...I've always disliked the advice to write every day. It never worked for me. I could write a few days in a row, but then I'd have days where I didn't write because I felt burnt out. Instead, I tell people to find what works for them and develop a writing schedule around that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552707317670752823.post-22993564100574177232016-04-07T13:00:19.589-04:002016-04-07T13:00:19.589-04:00I am doing NaNo trying to get back into the habit ...I am doing NaNo trying to get back into the habit of writing every day that I allowed over time to fall to the wayside.

I'm currently reading one of my critique partners books. She needs reviews. So when I'm done I will post the review on Amazon but also blog about it.

Don't panic, the ideas will be ready before you are.<br /><br />I'm about ready to get back on the horse... so to speak. I was sneaking in some writing on my nook until I filled up the memory.

That's a hard feat to manage—I know I haven't done it in ages.<br /><br />I don't strictly follow the 'write every day' rules.
