I came across this by accident when I was looking for a hashtag for my latest pointless tweet about my word count. Before finding, it I have been trying, and for once successfully, to write every day. I did try setting myself goals about how many posts, scenes and short stories I would write in a week. I didn’t even succeed with those for a single week.
So my new thing is just to write something every day, doesn’t matter if it’s just 100 words. So far I’m doing quite well with it. Last week it was the book; this week it has mainly been my blog. There is something satisfying about writing every day. I know realistically I will miss the odd day but will try not to give myself a hard time about it.
Anyone want to join me, admittedly a bit late with writing every day in may?

It is an honourable endeavour! I write most days, but don’t give myself a hard time on the days I don’t.

Well so far it’s worked better then setting my self goals to how much I have to write, in fact because I worry less about the word count I’m writing more.

Because I do it before work it does mean I’m firing on most cylinders when I arrive, which didn’t use to be the case.

Great ambition Eric, I tried that when I first started on Word Press, prior to that it was My Space, enthusiasm waned as speed affected the subject matter and diversity of material, plus the fact that everyday life’s trivia’s do affect time and attention.
All the best mate.
Cheers.

I’m switching between my blog and book. I also have some short stories to finish so I hope the verity will keep me going.

Excellent plan. Even 10 words a day is good. If one day gets missed, there’s always tomorrow

Yep, one day it was just that although most I manage a few hundred words.

I do think the important thing is to enjoy it, whether it’s every day or just once a month.
