This is a great article. Some of the suggestions I have been considering for a while, such as the more prescribed timetable, but it is nice to be reassured that my instincts regarding this are right especially now that I am an indie author and spend so much of my time generating sales or school visits or marketing. I need to carve out time to do the bit that I love…the writing.

about two months ago I signed up for a course on how to stop procrastinating. I haven’t got around to reading it yet.

I’ve been struggling to finish this short story. I really need to get my schedule in order & keep number 12 in mind.

I work full-time too. I hand write prompts that I flesh out later. Like, what is important about this next scene? Or, I’ll answer the question 10x: the reason I am resisting this chapter is….I love timed prompts!

I’m slogging through a 1st draft of a 12 chapter book, and have to stop and reorganize to stay on target. I will listen to podcasts while I find computer files!!!

If anyone has any further advice on combatting brain/creativity drain, I’d love to hear it. I’m an 11th/12th grade English teacher, and I have various types of English classes I teach throughout the week which requires so much mental and creative energy that I often feel totally wiped by the time I get home, so like a previous person commented I get the bulk of my writing done on the weekends, where I can easily finish a full chapter or two, but I guess there’s only one way to write every day no matter how drained your creativity is, and that is to just simply do it! I’d love to hear any thoughts on this and whether anyone else struggles with this as well.

Hi Terry! Great question. Personally, I have always loved “Bird by Bird” by Anne Lamott. I can also recommend writing guides by Joanna Penn.
