I’ve had some time to write lately, but I haven’t devoted much of it to writing. I was just verbally kicking myself over this with one of my friends, and she made a brilliant point:
If you press yourself to write during the appointed time, it won’t happen. Take the pressure off, and the writing will come when it will.
I know this isn’t the case for everyone. Some of you, if not many, can sit down during a free couple of hours and bang out a blog post or book chapter or Communist manifesto that you’ve been meaning to write. However, when I reserve ‘writing time’, it mostly ends up becoming ‘Farmville time’. (JOKING – I’m not a Farmville farmer – not that there’s anything wrong with that (ahem)).
However, now that it’s 11:00pm, and it should be ‘Fiesta Bowl watching time’, I’ve written this epic, unforgettable post.
If you’re a writer/blogger/Communist literary icon, when do you write? Are you disciplined to keep an appointed time, or do you just write whenever it flows?
