I didn't do anything at all today, which is not entirely unexpected, as Saturday always ends up being a day when I just flop on the bed and waste time online.
I think a routine definitely helps me. Having a set goal of writing *something* every day, even if it's only a sentence. This only works as long as I'm still relatively inspired though - February was awful for that. Still, I'm getting back to that goal this month. Also, I find what helps is recognizing what times and what situations are best for writing and maximizing those. For me, that would be being away from my room, for one, which ends up being mostly during lectures, and just writing at night. The former, I find, is best for getting little bits and pieces of WIPS out and petting plotbunnies. The latter is great for getting a lot of writing done in one go, but the writing is usually for some entirely new fic that gets written in one session, not for any of my WIPs. Still, writing is writing. I have no intention of complaining. :D
