Having decided it was better to do at least some work on an existing WIP before starting a new one, I managed to do a fairly decent chunk on the Daria screenplay. Making a chart of the scenes on paper not only helped jump start the writing, but also gave me a better idea of how to break up the chapters. Trying not to think *too* far ahead, but it always helps to have a rough idea of what I think I'll do next, or what I might work on in tandem with other stuff.

I tend to not write until afternoon and evening only because mornings are usually busier. I'd say for the last year at least, pretty much any time has been a good time, especially since I started taking the magnesium threonate (seriously, I'd love to hear anecdotes from anyone else who gives it a try).

Stay warm out there, people!

Today I finished the chapter I wanted to finish this week. I'm going to revise it tomorrow before sending it off to beta for the weekend, but it's essentially done. :D I'll be away most of the weekend so I don't think I'll get much writing done Fri/Sat.

Best tifreeme of day is whenever I have time! I prefer it to be quiet, so usually that means either late at night after my partner goes to bed, or if I have a slow day with work and can write over an extended lunch break.

I'm not going to edit my previous post so that you all can enjoy that extra special spelling there.

I fully intended to edit, and then I didn't. D'oh.

My best time to write is usually soon after I wake up, but after breakfast and coffee. Usually that is fairly early in the morning, but not always.
