Starting Point
I've been writing for a while now. And I always find myself making lots of writing goals and lots of to-do lists. I can tell you, from my own experience, that when I stick to those goals and cross off things on those lists, one by one, I feel satisfied and I accomplish the much bigger goal.
But...I'm a very distracted human who loves to daydream. So in order for me to have a starting point, I actually have to visualize what I will do when I sit down, what I will write, and what I will think about. Yeah, I know. I plan for my thinking. And I always pump myself up by saying that everything takes time (including thinking). So you either do it now or later. But it still takes the same amount of time.
My experience today is: My goal is to write chapter 3 of my book project. However, I took my child to daycare and learned that she is not a good eater. So now I am thinking of recipes and cooking up a few as I goof off on Goodreads. I keep saying my starting point will be later today. But I haven't visualized it. :P
