The streak's alive! I've managed at least 30 minutes of writing for 57 days straight now.
Alternating the days I work on the novel with the days I work on the short story seems to help, too.
I've even started tracking my daily word count again, when working on the novel. I don't let myself stop writing until I hit 250 words.
As a result, I've made notable progress on it. Finished three new chapters, and I'm ready to start editing down the next few.
And for the short story, I'm gathering notes on my research and getting plot points nailed down. This weekend (or early next week) I think I'll be ready to start writing some dialog, and then gradually fill in the rest.
Oh, and I have three other pieces submitted to paying markets. Keeping in the habit of sending them right back out a few days after a rejection comes in.
So this week has been good, relatively speaking. Still not operating at 100%, creatively, but I'm finding a new normal, a new pace of working to make a habit.
What about you?
