Last October, during the KIA, I wrote like a bandit but I haven't written a word since. It makes me nuts. I think part of my problem is, I tend to get caught up in "the rules".
What "rules" you ask? Well, that can vary, depending on who you're asking.
Anyway, I've been wanting to get back to writing. A number of years ago I met someone who told me a bit about herself. Considering what she told me, I thought it was a bit "odd". I also thought "it" would make a GREAT character in a romance novel.
I wrote a little on it and then abandoned it - as I do much of what I start. Well, the last couple of days it's been pushing to the forefront again. I want to tell that story again. Screw the rules! LOL
So...I started thinking. Jessica Trapp is hosting a yahoo e-loop 100 words or something like that. You have to write 100 words a day for 100 days and report (for accountability purposes) on the loop. If you miss a day, you have to start back over at day one. I haven't joined it yet but it sounds like a good idea.
My other option is to follow Jes' advice on How to Stay Unpublished Forever - Ten Easy Steps.
Tough call. ;~)

The "rules" have messed me up for so long now. I'm trying to ignore them and just write, though at the moment, what I'm writing feels flat. Argh!
I think you should go for Trapp's loop challenge! 100 words in 100 days, and you've finished!
GO GO GO!!!
Ignore the rules. Write what you want, what you love. If goals work for you, go for it!
