Of course the schedule must include a "usual" time for writing otherwise you can drift for days or weeks letting ideas float around in the back of your mind and using that to justify the passing time. Set your schedule, but you're not a writer unless you're writing (not my quote) so sit down every day and get at it.(less)

Abraham Lincoln
“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”
