Loved the video! Just got back from vacation and trying to find my bearings to get up and go writing again! This video was the one to finally get me at my desk! 🎉

80K words in a month is a huge goal! Imagine how awesome it'll feel to achieve it in 26 days. Ideal days are great, happy you're figuring out your process/system, but I think to make this our job, we need to be able to write under less than ideal conditions. 😂 (A reminder for myself there too...) My real life is pretty structured but it works for me.

Haha that is so true! For me the less than ideal condition (at least right now) is usually my inability to focus and sit still 😂

@@charleeraewrites We just gotta keep doing the best we can and realizing that the best might vary from day to day!

In real life I live by routines (I also have medical issues that require that) but writing wise i'm a pantser. I'm writing my first novel (i'm just starting to take my writing seriously) and I had to start it knowing almost nothing. I got 3 chapters in and it all started coming to me and now I have an outline, of sorts, but it's not super detailed and i'm only 16k in (just began the second act and i'm now in chapter 6) and already my story is continuing to surprise me. I love it! I am also a night owl and due to my routines and my brain I tend to write at night. It's when life is quiet and my body isn't being super demanding and I can write.

Routine is so important for so many reasons! I’m so glad you found one that works for you and your needs ❤️
