While I have been writing here and there, I have not yet had the chance to build up my writing routine as I had hoped. Even after getting a bit of a kickstart with a three-week writing program – “Adoptee’s Writing Experience” with Ann Peck – I haven’t been able to maintain momentum.
There are any number of reasons why, but the most relevant is the lack of ‘home’ as a stable space. Although I like to write in cafes and move around for a ‘writing date’, I still need routines and patterns from which to allow my brain to escape for my writing moments. Without it, I am always escaping so that my mind has no proper space in which the muses can buzz around to bring forth the words.
Still, I am trying to retrain the mind to understand that I can find pockets of time to sit myself down. I’m trying out a new calendar/task app as well that allows me to set my to-do list ☑️ in coordination with my calendar 🗓 so am hoping that will focus my attention on writing ✍️ each day in a structured way.
All this is to say, I hope to be posting again scenes and chapters here!
Stay tuned!
More to come ….
