I just read that being a writer is like having homework every day.
I suppose every successful endeavor must be like that-from exercise to cooking clean to getting words on the page or practicing some other art form.
And so, I need to commit to that. I was hanging out during the week in hopes for the weekends. I tend to be so tired and such a stick in the mud that I don’t want to get in the car and do anything on the weekend. Hence, a lot I promised has not happened.
So here’s the deal. If I can cook and do dishes and be in my chair by 7-I should be able to exercise, do the meal, and be able to write some things for at least the time it takes to hit 8 pm. That gives me an hour and a half of game time to relax.
Put your thinking cap on while you work out. What choreo? What costume? What music? What characters are talking to you while you do it? Put your quiet character in another room and see what they do. Get your story lost on a really far off the mark event and see what comes out of it.
Get some things down and start letting your muse earn her money.
