Keeping the Daily Writing Habit Alive

I haven’t kept the daily writing habit officially alive as a completely unbroken streak, as I’ve found myself missing a day every once in a while. In the almost four months I’ve been writing this blog, I think I’ve missed fewer than a handful of days.

Yesterday was one of those days. I still try and maintain the discipline of writing at least a sentence each day, to stay in the habit of writing. That’s the reason for today’s post, to just keep rolling with the daily writing habit.

Most days I look forward to the time in the day I spend writing. Today, since it’s toward the end of the day and I haven’t had dinner yet, the writing seems like more of a chore. It feels like I can’t start to unwind into the evening until I write this post.

I only wrote one sentence Saturday and forgot to write yesterday, which is why I’m kind of forcing myself to spend just five minutes on this post. Not concerning myself with a particular word count and allowing myself the flexibility to keep this post short enabled me to sit and write it quickly to get back on track with the writing habit. More to come tomorrow…
