We have talked extensively about daily writing, techniques for achieving it, and the ostensible benefits of it. Let’s take a step back and discuss what it’s like in the trenches of daily writing, the frustrations that may arise, and the methods we use to keep ourselves on task.
Recommendation:
Track your daily word counts, whether you write or not. Also, take note of the context in which you were most (and least) productive. How were you feeling? What was work like that day? What kind of music were you listening to?
