March Pico 2018, Day 6

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I found an available computer at work, so I thought I'd put up today's post a bit earlier.

Here is the place to talk about your progress (or the lack of it) and share bits with us.
May the magic be with us all!

BTW, I need someone to make tomorrow's post. I'll be at work all day, and it's doubtful that I would get this chance again.

Ugh, other than my writing last Friday, motivation has been so hard to come by. I haven't worked on any of my fics since then. I'm so annoyed with myself.

Don't give up! Just let the Pico magic work!

[artemis10002000]

I hope so! Doesn't help that my best writing time is after midnight, but these past days I've been half asleep by 8

Oh, dear, perhaps you need a change of pace... can you get away for a couple of hours to a park or something?

[artemis10002000]

I don't think so, not really, but I'll try to get some fresh air in general, that might help.

I've found taking a walk always seems to help my creative juices some.

[artemis10002000]

I'll try it!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Let me know if it works for you! :D

[artemis10002000]

Will do!

Don't get down on yourself! Can you write on a different schedule if it's hard to stay up late?

[artemis10002000]

Hmmm it's worth a try. I usually write so late since I'm undisturbed then but I'll try.

I missed three days in a row, in spite of having my writing notebook with me at all times:) I was off having fun with my sisters and just didn't want to write! I was feeling guilty about it, but decided I shouldn't feel that way, and just get back to writing when I got home.

I often don't feel like writing, or can't think of what to write, or how to get what I want to say out on the paper. I find that reading/reviewing my WIP(s) can help kick-start things.

[artemis10002000]

That's a good point, maybe I'll give re-reading that 600 words start I have a try and see if inspiration comes then.

But as for you, sounds like you had some fun days! That was a well-deserved writing break.

I hope it works for you:)

Don't feel guilty for having fun! I've also found that reading wips makes me want to edit/rewrite a bit here and there and that often leads to expanding and writing something new.

I hate feeling guilty about not writing. The only thing that relieves it is writing:)

Being exhausted doesn't help matters along at all, I know. It's tough sometimes just to get the words out. Perhaps resting more will help refill the well?
