ROW80 – Finding a routine

Currently, I am at 2.919 words. Yes, it is going smoothly! And I am very happy with this progress!

What makes me even happier, is that I have found a routine that really fits in my busy lifestyle. It’s actually very simple; all I need now is discipline! What helps me is the knowledge that if I stick to this routine, I will make constant progress.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are the busiest days of the week. Not only do I have a lot of teaching to do, I also end quite late as well. I know that these days I will be too tired to do some writing, so I just stick keep to blogging. If I feel that I still have some energy left, I will write.

Monday and Friday are different: less teaching, earlier at home. Those two days, I will at least write 1 – 2 hours. Or maybe more. Since our summer trip is not exactly a distant memory, it’s easy to write. I sometimes even feel as if the novel is writing itself!

In the weekends, everything depends on how many excursions we do. But I have to admit that Sunday afternoon is my favorite moment of the week to do some writing. Actually a lot of writing. So is early Saturday morning. I don’t know why, but these two moments seem to be perfect for me as a writer.

Let’s see if I can stick to this routine!
