Many writing books, magazines, articles, mentors say that if you are a writer you must writer everyday. What do you write when there just isn't anything to say? Do you talk about the long busy day you had, or that your feet hurt so bad from standing all day you wonder if you can go bare foot to work tomorrow. Maybe you work on your manuscript.
My next question is when do you do these things? Maybe you get up early before work and jot a few words down. This is not me, I love my sleep and morning already comes to early. So, maybe you write on your lunch break. Again not sure how to do that when I don't have a desk job and my manuscript is creeping in the greater than 50,000 word category. I can't just start anywhere and add later. So, maybe you write at night before bed. Most days I'm all about that. Some days though I like to watch tv, or get lost in someone else's world that they created in their novel.
Then there are night like tonight. I really would love to jump into chapter 4 and rewrite, tweak and edit but I want to sleep. Where do these people who have full time jobs, children and social lives find time to sleep? I believe in the motto "sleep when you're dead" but man as I watch my youth stretch farther behind me I think I need a nap before death finds me.
