I try to write for two hours every morning. I head out to my computer with a cup of tea, but I don't always get any writing done in that two hours at my desk. Most days, I send out litmag submissions, pay bills online, spend time on Substack, order prescription refills, submit rebate forms - anything but generative writing.

Very relatable, Lynne. Thanks for sharing so vulnerably. I made the conscious choice to take a few weeks to put novel revision aside and focus primarily on my coaching business. Taking something off my plate temporarily has helped alleviate some of my guilt. I'm still experimenting with what works best, but a sunrise beach walk on the weekend reminded me that life is too short to miss the magic moments with doing too much. Still ... always... a work in progress!
