WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 1 -- Wednesday

[linaewen]

Greetings on Wednesday!  Sorry about missing yesterday, it was one of of my usual crazy Tuesdays!

It's a new writing month, and an opportunity for  fresh start.  How are you making use of your time today for writing?

• I thought about my fic once or twice
• I wrote
• I did some planning and/or research
• I edited
• I've sent my fic off to my beta
• I posted today!
• I'm taking a break
• I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

For Discussion:  A statement by Dorothea Brande, author of Becoming A Writer, caught my attention recently.  She says that if you cannot commit to turning up at the page, every day, even if for ten minutes, then your commitment to failure is stronger than your commitment to being a writer.  That's a strong statement, but it spoke to me where I'm at right now.

My question for discussion is this -- are you able to set goals for daily writing times like this?  Is it helpful to you?  When the unavoidable happens and you simply cannot spend time with your writing, how hard is it for you to get back on track?
