Teaching is exhausting! I've been doing some internal coaching in other classrooms recently and I am losing my voice from the 20,000 other things I say to their students plus my students. It's been a week. I've also started slipping back into my high-pitched Pre-K Teacher voice, which I have not missed.
I've been trying to make myself be semi-productive during the week because I still worry that this is a lightning in a bottle thing and I don't want to lose it if I can help it. Having written consistently since October and gotten to almost chapter 30 plus being able to pop back in after taking an editing break should convince me otherwise, but I still worry. Meanwhile, we're catching up on Colbert and Bill Gates apparently wrote and published a book in the past year. Crazy, haha.

I get that. It's good to stay in a routine and at least try writing every day, even if you don't get much done. I would like to thank you and this forum for at least motivating me to get on the computer on weeknights. Sometimes that's half the battle. I actually wrote a few sentences last night, which is better than nothing.
nicksgal:
Are you sure I haven't just helped motivate you to continue cementing your supreme time waster status? haha At least it's writing adjacent supreme time wasting? Ooh, a few sentences on a weeknight? That is productive if you don't normally write on weeknights!
What things haven't we discussed related to writing routines? I think we covered most of it?
RokofAges75:
LOL I would be a supreme time waster either way - if I weren't spending several hours a night chatting on here, I would just be watching TV or playing on my phone. At least talking about fanfic helps keep me inspired, even if I don't have the mental energy to write until the weekend.
nicksgal:
The amount of time I spend on useless apps has decreased a lot since I started writing again. My poor virtual cats, haha.
It has kept me inspired too, I think. Maybe that's why I've been able to stick with the writing is chatting with you and everyone else here. :) So a thanks to you too!
