For discussion: Lately I've been having a lot of days where I want to write fic, I'm intending to write fic, I have ideas & energy, etc. etc. & somehow the day ends & I realize I never stopped to write fic because I simply forgot or other things got in the way. How do you keep fic from going on the back burner? Is there a way you have to get into the habit of writing fic regularly? Or do you figure that if you forgot to write fic, it just wasn't supposed to happen anyway?

I feel like beta-ing helps me w/my own writing, & besides which it's a nice thing to do for people, so go you. ;) Also yay for being satisfied w/the progress you're making so far!

Sometimes when there's a lot of RL stuff going on I abandon fic to deal w/it but sometimes I cling to it even more fiercely as a coping mechanism when things get stressy. I guess it depends on just how stressed I get!
