It's nice to have a set time to write. I try to get some time in every day, but sometimes I come home from work exhausted. Not to mention how crazy things get sometimes.
On Wednesday's writing is a must. I know what time I need to be on my computer with my story open and that's a very good thing. I can arrange my entire day so my writing time is free. And it always helps that I have someone else waiting for me online, so I know I have to show up.
I'm here now for that very reason, but I thought I'd post quickly first. Tonight I'll be finishing chapter seven in a novel I've recently started. I'm going to be working on this one at a conference in June, so I want to get as far as I can before then. June - that's my next big deadline.
Deadlines are very good things too, especially those you know you have to keep. I think they should be frequent too; otherwise it's too easy to get behind. That's how I finished my most recent book. I had a deadline and I knew I wanted one self-edit before anyone else looked at it. I made it too, self-edit and all. So what if I had to say up till 2 a.m. to finish, I made it and that’s all that mattered.
Gotta go. Time to write.
