Discussion time:  Since it's still currently Monday here, I'll pretend that's the case for all of us.  Please humor me, I have so little else.  Monday's can be hard for getting writing time.  For anyone working the typical officey/9-5 type job, it's the start of the new work week.  For anyone in school, it's usually the start of their week, too.  And for some poor fools, it's trash night!  It's me, I'm fools

BUT!  New weeks mean new starts!  So, yes, while it might mean a return to more rigid daily schedules, it might also mean that things are starting over.  The week's only just begun, so we might not have hit the "cascading unfinished tasks" portion of the week that frequently overwhelms writing plans later in the week.

So how does Monday land for you?  Are your Mondays usually more one extreme or the other?  Or are they somewhere in the middle?  Or maybe a secret third thing?

Mondays are usually okay for me, they tend to be a scheduled day off when I am free to pursue things that are not work related. Yesterday was a bit unusual as I was not really able to apply myself to any project in a decent sort of way, but I did manage to open my writing folder and look at my notes! Maybe I will do that again today and even write some words, too!

This is whole whole I haven't written much of anything. I let that fanfic simmer for a long time until now. I ended up scrapping the first two chapters, and started anew. It's looking better with a better idea of what I want (no hold back my true expression of the idea).

Mondays are either easy or hard for me. That's why they either be a day where I take a break, or press on from yesterday. It's more mood based, really.

Note reviewing totally counts as writing adjacent activity! I hope words go/went for you!

Mood based writing time is, I think, much more common than writers like to admit. As we know, sometimes all the external things can be 100% correct for what we need to write, but if the mood/mental stuff isn't there? No writing for us. ;__;

And sometimes letting a fic simmer is exactly what's needed, too! It's always nice when it finally starts cooking. ;D
