#8 The Lazy Writer

Be honest.

We've all been a little lazy when it comes to our writing. We've scheduled for a whole day of just writing, or we've set a certain amount of words to achieve before the day ends, or we've planned to do a specific character profile (depends on the type of writer you are..), or to brainstorm scenes.. etc...


...and yeah it doesn't happen.

We get completely sidetracked with other things like Facebook or Instagram, life, or random internet surfing and you find yourself on YouTube watching people pop boils and wonder how you even got there in the first place!

Do not worry my dear writer, it happens to most of us-- if not all of us at some point of our writer journeys.. and this is ok. Allow yourself a couple of days (when I say couple..  I literally mean 2 days.. any longer and it starts to become a habit!) because maybe in those couple of days you may get an epiphany, or something else may dawn on you for you to include in your chosen piece of writing.

Otherwise.. those 2 days.. breathe.. and get back to work!
I know we can feel lazy when we feel like nothing is flowing or nothing is working.. that's the art of being a writer.. we have that creative power to manipulate, or completely start over afresh and create something brand spankin' new.

As for me... I'm going to enjoy my bank holiday Monday.. (No work)
*puts legs up and switches on Sky+'ed Empire*

Happy Monday :)
