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

[Miss Thea]

Besides that, there is such a thing as writer's block.
Every writer goes through it.
There may be ways of dealing with it, but like Barbara says, there are just 
days when the brain isn't working.
I find that when I take a break from a project, I can come back to it fresh.
This means I'll probably be ninety-nine before my Lucy and Lithe series is 
finished, much less published. LOL
But I do find the breaks helpful.
Thea

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.)
