Check in: Day 6, Wednesday

[barbayat]

I see from the answers to the question that finding a beta is as difficult as ever. I try to compile a post about options when I got more time and energy for it :D


So, did you ...

... write something?
... thought about anything related to your stories?
... planned?
... sent something off to the beta?
... posted a story?
... dealt with real life issues?

Question of the Day

Does it help you to take deliberate break aka decide you will not be writing or thinking about writing for a day or two? Or are you more like me and end up most motivated on such days if you ever thought it was wise to try this?

I haven't had a chance to write yet, but I hoping to be able to yet this evening. I got a review on my most recently posted story today that encouraged me in such a way that I feel like pushing forward and finishing up a couple of pieces that have been hanging around too long. So here's hoping I'm still motivated after I get all my real life stuff out of the way for the day!

I don't usually plan my breaks; they happen because I know I'm going to be unable to write anyway for whatever reason. I'm more likely to plan when I will write rather than when I will take a break from it. At this point, I have too many breaks as it is. ;-) Even when I plan my writing around the days that are most conducive to it, I still don't always feel motivated to write, alas!
