What I need to do is make a writing schedule and stick to it!Sam F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04034367402431479011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910151770778209775.post-67898667236716362702012-08-28T22:19:46.181-04:002012-08-28T22:19:46.181-04:00Pretty sure Texas was the highlight of my summer :...Pretty sure Texas was the highlight of my summer :)Sam F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04034367402431479011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910151770778209775.post-25871291413682781542012-08-28T19:48:08.732-04:002012-08-28T19:48:08.732-04:00So, something I did was switch from writing late a...So, something I did was switch from writing late at night to writing early in the morning. I was astounded how much progress I made with that simply switch. At first it was an hour earlier, now I've pushed it to nearly 2 (and that's about as far as I can get with my current schedule, unfortunately). It's nice because there are no distractions from people, very little noise, and I think I've read your brain works better first thing in the morning, even if you are tired. This is coming from a severe night owl 99% of my life, so I totally get the hard to get up early thing. <br /><br />I mention this because doing this seemed to both give me the time to write AND live my life. I've been feeling a lot more balanced. I really do love it and the progress I'm making. <br /><br />But whatever you decide to do, always remember lots of people SAY they want to write a novel, you're doing it--and that's awesome! Keep on writing!Jaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068459550733383726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910151770778209775.post-36898685947015655072012-08-24T23:32:02.169-04:002012-08-24T23:32:02.169-04:00I so agree!
