WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 2 -- Tuesday

[linaewen]

Hello on Tuesday!  What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare yesterday?

       - I thought about my fic once or twice
       - I wrote
       - I did some planning and/or outlining
       - I did research and/or canon review
       - 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

Tuesday Discussion:  How do you go about encouraging yourself to write when you have the time, but just don't feel like it?

Yesterday I managed to get quite a bit done. Mainly organised the whole fic, shuffled things into an order and identified some missing bits. Overall very happy I managed to do that.

I did get slightly distracted by a new plot bunny, which isn't helpful at all.

Re motivation. I honestly just force myself to write when I can but lacking the motivation. Even if it's not what I should be working on, just anything. Just doing it enough to make it a habit, that when the motivation does come you aren't out of practice. I don't think there's an easy method. I find it helps to make your surroundings good, if possible, and just write.
