The clock has struck 8 o’clock in the PM. You haven’t written all day–certainly intended to, needed to–but you didn’t. But you can’t stay up late, you’re all out of energy. You know whatever you force yourself to write you’ll have to rewrite. Why did you wait so long?
Most of us have all experienced that feeling that ‘now’ just isn’t the time to write something. We argue we don’t have time, we’re too drowsy, we just ate, or we need to wake up more.
Everyone is different, but when I’m making a run at a novel or other daily writing goal, getting it out of the way first thing really opens up the rest of the day. With the writing requirement fulfilled it takes the weight of stress off finding a time to write.
So, pour that hot tea or coffee and knock it out before the rest of your day (and your mind) decide ‘now’ is not the time.
