A little encouragement for you 🌿
A lot of writers get strapped for time and wish they could write more, but end up demanding more from themselves than they can manage and stressing themselves out! So, ask yourself what you can manage every day. 30 mins of writing? 250 words? More? Less? And then create boundaries. Outline your daily writing moments and fence them in! This is your time to do one of the things you love, No Trespassing! You can create a little moment in your day that's just for you and your writing. Even if it's 10 mins before you pass out for the night!
Remember that everyone's got their own unique situation. When I worked and studied, sometimes I spent days or weeks not writing. Some days I had more energy than others. Some days I managed to sneak in some writing at work when things calmed down, even just a few lines of dialogue for a scene I would flesh out later on. Every little bit helps. 15 words today? No problem. 37? 102? Great! Still more than there were yesterday, and the day before! And if I didn't write for some days? That's not a bad thing, either! Life demands that we are there for so many moments. With so much to do and give and make and see, it's only natural we won't get to do everything we want to do in a day. There's always tomorrow! 🌼
Happy August & happy writing! 🍀
Awww! Thank you so much.
