And it seems like it's starting to work. I have not put up a blog post every single day since December 20th, but I've come rather close. And the decision to find my way back to writing daily - by which I mean writing poems and/or stories - by writing blog posts daily seems to be working.
I've started thinking about some new projects, and have written a poem that I happen to like a lot. Plus I've been working on two new picture book projects.
And I've started thinking about finding my way back into that young adult romance novel I sort of abandoned when life got hectic. The one that is 5 chapters from being done, and involves me writing original songs, too.
Turns out that sometimes, it's as simple as making a plan. Making a plan to blog every day, or to sit down for at least half an hour to write. Or both. And yeah, the planning sounds simple, even if the execution isn't always easy, or even possible. But it's worth trying.
How's your writing going?

Glad to see you blogging more, too!
I feel so SO much better reading that plans do work! Way to be inspirational. Thanks. :)
Oh, yeah--yay!
My writing's going well. Especially since I banned myself from playing Spider Solitaire until I finish Abraham Lincoln Stole my Homework :)
I'm in what feels like endless revision mode, but I'm very pleased with the results.
*smooch*
Glad you're enjoying the process!
I, too, have been doing a lot of planning lately as well. And similarly, trying to map things out. Part of my plan required me to finish some things that were easy distractions. We (MJ and I) finished the second season of Boardwalk Empire. And I finished Ken Burn's JAZZ. The latter, especially, opens up that "space" in the evening for me to write, edit or sketch.
And the full moon this month seemed to be a "good one" where I was feeling more inspired than crazy. Although closer we get to it, I'm still feeling the inspiration vibes only it's overloading my head so I'm kinda scrambled.
But hopefully, things will get back into a groove.
My mom sorta "laid a challenge" for me when we were talking about this next project. She said, "so, will this one rhyme, too?" I had originally thought prose. The last one was based on song so poetry was a given. But I seemed to have "set myself up" as something as a poet with PLACE. I just don't know. I am starting it as a poem, now. So, we'll see.
I would like to call upon your expert advice and editorial skills, again. Hopefully, we can talk about some payment, barter or something...
