Reading: Richelle Mead - Spirit Bound
I've said it before and I'll say it again - I love writing in the morning. Getting up before dawn, putting the kettle on, cracking my knuckles and sitting down to write have been my routine (even on weekends! and holidays!) for years. It's my own, personal, creative time of day. Having a self-imposed schedule frees up my mind so I can think about other things.
Like my next plot point, for example.
With November and NaNoWriMo came chaos, and writing at all hours, and *gasp* coffee drinking. It was absolute insanity, albeit insanity that affected only me. (Though my daughter was getting sick of frozen pizza for dinner night after night.) Once NaNo ended, I spent the first week of December decompressing and reorganizing.
And now I'm back.
Ahhh, normalcy. How I've missed you. I've missed my sleep at night, the peace of waking early, the delicate flavor of tea. Not to mention the creative rush that comes at this time.
I'm off to write.
My Life is Nothing but a Schedule and Routine: Sounds horrible
ReplyDeleteGetting up before dawn, Self-imposed schedule: Sounds strong
Frozen pizza, Delicately flavored tea: Sounds yummy
It makes me hopeful that I too can write on a daily basis and have a routine.
If you want it badly enough, you'll do it. ;-)
