This is a GREAT article about writing, how to do it in the real world.
Dear Writing: I Hate You.
Are you writing? Have you slacked off?
In the past I was never a 'write daily' person unless I was under deadline. But I learned a new trick after over twenty years of writing--that writing daily has an unexpected benefit. It keeps my story in front of me. Making myself open the file and look at it daily, whether I write a handful of words or pages, keeps it on the front burner.
The more days I go without writing, the easier it is to slide away where I just don't think about it much.
I now write daily, even when I don't have a deadline. But I do have a deadline so I write even more daily. ;-)
