[stylist] Does Anyone Write Daily as a Routine No Matter What's Going On?

[Barbara HAMMEL]

I don't understand what you mean by open a document and just start writing. For you that may be easy but I cannot do that. I just sit there and stare at the blank file and my head stays blank. I have four stories going and for a while I would write bits in each of them but lately absolutely zero. I even have a file for ideas, a file for drafts and a file for finished pieces. (I should say those are folders with files in them.)

If your goal is to write every day then I suggest you start with a small goal. For example set a goal to write 100 word a day and you'll be surprise how much you go over 100. Set a time to write each and every day and just open a word document or what ever you use and start writing without thinking. U be surprise what comes out. Hope this helps.

>> Ok, I went way off topic. I don't write every day. I often feel I need a break, due to health problems and writer's block.
>> But I'm very interested in what daily writers have to say.

>> Hi all,
>> A friend of mine who likes to write  makes it a habit to do so daily.
>> I would really like to do this. I did not write much as an LCB student but have definitely done some more writing  in the past few months, although not as much as I would like to. The problem is that I don't always  know what I would want to write on a given day. For example, for a story I'm working on about 2 friends lives during and after spending time together in a training center, I may not have ideas every single day on what I want to happen. I would just like to know how these of you who write daily keep it up consistently despite writers block
