Writus Interuptus (Patreon)

And that right there is why you don’t want me trying to be funny.

Over the years I’ve discovered how to schedule my writing. And that’s the thing with me, it has to be schedule. If I just go “I’ll write when I feel like it” I’ll never write because it’s a lot easier to find something else to do. Also, morning work best. Once I start writing I can keep going until, well, however long I want, or until I stop, usually because some outside force makes me stop, like work.

If I don’t know how long I’ll have available to write, it’s a lot tougher to start because then I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish what I planned on writing.

The interesting thing happens when I think I’ll have enough time, and it turns out I don’t. whenever I can I will aim to stretch my writing time far enough to finish that chapter, but when I have a delivery to make…. I have to hit the road. And somehow I can get right back to writing that chapter no matter when in the day I get back to it.

I’ve gotten back to chapters after driving for ten hours, and if I try to get any writing done after all that driving under other circumstances, I’m just going to hit my head against the screen.

It is interesting(read weird) how my mind works.

And that’s it for now, so I’ll see you on the next one.
