Habit building.
Howdy folks, it’s me, once again, you can start to party now, or never
fear because I’m going to do something. Yesterday, well the other day by the
time you see it, was odd. I went to work, had a good-ish time at work (when do
you ever have a really good time at work), and came home. I went for a walk.
Came back to the house and sat down to do some writing, and my brain wasn’t
agreeing with me. So, I got a page and a quarter written, and then stopped. I
didn’t do anything else. I sat in my chair for like two hours not thinking, not
writing, reading, nothing, it was a total zone out for me.
Today (yesterday), however, I was able to get much more done. I had a
good day at work, I had a good walk, and I managed to write for almost four
hours. True I only got the scene I was working on yesterday done, but the scene
is done and that’s progress. Now, tomorrow, I will be working on the next to
last scene of In the Morning Light, and I’m wondering if that’s why I zoned out
so totally the other day. I don’t know what it’s like for other artists, but
for me, and most writers that I know, it’s hard to complete a piece of fiction,
anything of substantial length anyway. It’s kind of like post partum
depression, I’d say, an empty hole in a part of you, that you know can never be
filled. And, it’s strange for me. I didn’t think I’d feel that way about the
ending of a fanfiction piece.
Anywho, that’s totally not what I wanted to talk about. Lol.
Yeah, I was going to talk about habit building. Like with the walk I
was talking about earlier. For the last few days I’ve taken a walk at roughly the
same time every day, and I will continue to do so until it is habit. I’m also
going to try the same thing with my writing. Just trying to sit down every day
at roughly the same time, and start writing. Then at the end of that session
comes the blog post :)
So, if things work out well. And, I have no reason to believe they won’t,
I’ll be talking to you all regularly. Like, every day kind of regularly. Lol.
And, that’s all from me.
Later kids.
