Hi friends & writers,
It was such fun to hear from many of you about your writing routines and rhythms! I felt inspired again and again at hearing how different people find time & energy for creative work.
Happy long spring days to you all –

PROCESS: KNOWING YOUR RHYTHM
Circadian rhythms dictate when we wish to do all sorts of things (be at rest … be in motion … be social … be creative). Many writers swear by a certain time of day, and others are charged by writing anytime, or changing it up. Either way, it’s good to experiment.
Try this: Think backwards: when do you most not want to write? By process of elimination, you may discover when you naturally are more inclined toward writing. First thing in the morning (when The Tuesday Writer arrives) or in the evening, when “the list” has been put to rest? At lunch, or during stolen afternoon moments when the baby is asleep or the boss is not looking? Decide on a time that works for now, then set aside half an hour a few days this week – just to see what happens.
