Comments on: My NaNo Reward – Writing Routines! http://www.routinesforwriters.com/2009/12/02/my-nano-reward-writing-routines/ helping writers write more Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:10:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kitty Bucholtz http://www.routinesforwriters.com/2009/12/02/my-nano-reward-writing-routines/comment-page-1/#comment-1429 Kitty Bucholtz Wed, 02 Dec 2009 23:56:51 +0000 http://www.routinesforwriters.com/?p=1843#comment-1429 I'm so glad you guys are not only empathizing, but also commenting. It reminds me that an entire 48 hours had gone by without writing because I had "good reasons" (i.e., getting ready to leave town for a week). Here I just told you I'd finally gotten some good routines going and then I was back in my OLD routine of having good reasons not to write "just for today." So! Thanks to you guys, I'm going to get in at least 30 minutes today, and throughout the weekend to make up for the 2 days I missed. :) I'm feeling better about this already! And remember - it's about time we started talking about 2010 goals! So start thinking! I’m so glad you guys are not only empathizing, but also commenting.

That is something I've been trying to do for years. I suppose it just comes down to doing it. Not wanting to do it or trying to do it. Not wishing or waiting or whining. But doing it. Butt in chair! I think that's going to be my new mantra...won't that be funny when I suddenly, spontaneously blurt it out! Happy Wednesday, Jen Congratulations on establishing that writing routine.

I'm in front of the computer every morning between 4:30 & 5 a.m. with the intentions of writing or editing, but some days I get nothing done. I get involved with posts on my sidebar (yours included), twitters, email, the news, children and before I know it my day is gone. Not to day though....hopefully.
