Yesterday, I made the wish to restart a regular writing practice. As if in answer to this wish, someone I know (sorry to whomever, and thank you!) posted about 750 Words. It seemed perfect, especially with yesterday being the first day of the month *and* a Wishcasting day. I signed up and started typing. It's sluggish going right now--my freewriting muscles are out of practice. But I think by the end of today's writing I was already feeling myself loosen up and get back into the flow of writing.
Last night, my beloved and I also came up with a plan to give me at least one good, intensive writing session every week. On Mondays, I'm going to take care to make a dinner that's big enough to leave leftovers. And on Tuesdays after work, I'm going to stop off at a coffee shop or cafe and write for at least 90 minutes before heading home. With no need to go home and get dinner started (hurray leftovers), I can go even longer than that if I feel like it.
Of course, I intend to do more writing than the 750 word freewrites every day and one big writing session a week, but these two things together can form a nice, real, regular writing practice even when I can't fit in anything else. I'm loving this plan! I'll keep you posted...
