I don't include blogposts as fiction writing, but I do include query letters, synopsis, etc. If I miss a day, then back to it the next. If I can't write, I plan.<br /><br />Good luck!D.G.

...Hmm, this post JUST showed up in my feed. Weird.<br /><br />Anyway, I DO write most days. I reached a point of burnout a couple of months ago, though, and had to take a break. But I think it's good to at least check in on your writing every day. Someone else I know calls it "touching the ball" just to keep yourself familiar with it, just to check in and know it's still there. <br /><br />Also, I think if you commit to writing twenty minutes a day, it will easily lead to more as the pump gets primed. :)Luanne G.

It's hard to get back in the groove - sort of like doing push-ups after I haven't done any in months. I probably need to add push-ups to the daily list. :) Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-49485861740098705282013-07-28T09:40:05.332-04:002013-07-28T09:40:05.332-04:00That's awesome that you've finished it com...That's awesome that you've finished it completely.

Something about the consistency is almost soothing. I will say it's not as fun while editing, but I still keep the same schedule. Best of luck to you with your new goal. I know you can achieve it! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-73268476451591365362013-07-27T23:27:37.426-04:002013-07-27T23:27:37.426-04:00I've been revising the book I'm releasing ...I've been revising the book I'm releasing this fall, and am figuring out all the steps involved in self-publishing, so other kinds of writing (apart from blogging) have fallen by the wayside.

We report our totals every 3 months. Donating is on the honor system. In the 19 months since I started the group, I've written all but about 45 days. No more many-month droughts for me! <br /><br />Good luck finding a rhythm.
