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

Tue Oct 25 01:50:15 UTC 2016

For me, I tried this because in my MFA, we have to write a minimum of 35
pages every four weeks. I calculated if I could write at least 2 to 3 pages
a day, I would make at least my minimum. But for me, it just doesn't work,
doesn't fit my lifestyle. Lately when I write, I will crank out 10 to 15
pages in a day, but this is not happening everyday by any means. I have a
lot going on, so for me, writing daily is not doable. As long as I reach my
4 week goal, that's all I concentrate on right now.

But I do agree setting a writing goal is good. Whether it's daily or weekly
or even just monthly, setting a goal is helpful, especially if working on a
project.

Hello all,
First of all, there is no such thing call writer's block!  There is always
something to write. I write every day except for Sundays. I don't always
write what Im working on but I write. 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.
Please excuse any typos

But it can also be useful, because when my interest revives, I write like a
house on fire.
