Comments on: When In Doubt Write…Right? http://havenrich.net/when-in-doubt-writeright.htm Daydreaming with words...

I did lots of thinking about them and cramming even more info into my brain about the writing process, but I didn't feel like I was making any progress. I managed to keep up my daily journal entries, which while not fiction, kept me in the practice of dumping something out on the page on command. I don't think that the quantity of output is important, but I do find regular writing sessions most beneficial for me. There's a great set of cheerleaders that hang out in the Live Chat room... there's usually someone around, it was great to see you there the other day again! I find those challenges to be really helpful even when I can convince myself I'm not in the mood to write. *gets out her pom-poms and shakes 'em* I'm rootin' for you! I'm glad to hear your mood is lifting, enjoy what sunshine you can and take it easy!

I know it's hard sometimes, and I go through times when I just don't feel like slogging away at it. When you get back into your stride... why not try the next Seventy Days of Sweat? Despite the title, it's a much more gentle challenge than Nano, you can set your own modest goals and there's not such a relentless pressure. I've found it really helpful to keep me writing *and* enjoying the process. Take care... Love WendyPortia Hi Haven

So sorry to hear that you’ve just not felt like writing lately. I know it’s hard sometimes, and I go through times when I just don’t feel like slogging away at it.

When you get back into your stride… why not try the next Seventy Days of Sweat? Despite the title, it’s a much more gentle challenge than Nano, you can set your own modest goals and there’s not such a relentless pressure. I’ve found it really helpful to keep me writing *and* enjoying the process.

Take care…

I also go months without writing, but think about it and stories I'd love to just sit down and write. I have no doubt you will be writing again and we are always here to cheer you on or a shoulder to cry on. You are a wonderful person, Haven, and wishing you the very best.

I go weeks sometimes without writing, but don't beat yourself up for it. Setting attainable goals always helps me--go for it. I agree that the holidays may not help sometimes.

Knowing I have supporting friends like you helps me more than you'd ever know! It never hurts to have cheerleaders! Thank you so much Dianna!

I know what you are going through, truly I do, that is why I have been so quiet of late. The holiday season doesn't help this particular situation at all. Is there anything I can do to help you with your goal? I am not a writer (aspiring or otherwise) but in this one area I have experience. Dianna Go for it!
