I do think it's important to do what works for you, though.

I wanted to produce and succeed so badly that I was especially driven to keep on writing. Now that my agent is subbing for me and I have a few good novels in the hopper, I feel I can take the time to relax or take a break as needed.DeenaMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093257361683249174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-45765689140622481952009-07-03T06:49:14.733-07:002009-07-03T06:49:14.733-07:00It's works differently for me, depending on wh...It's works differently for me, depending on what genre I'm writing in. When I'm doing non-fiction, I'm super disciplined and write every day, keep a personal deadline and all that. But now that I'm trying my hand at fiction, I find myself writing in spurts. Though I sit down every day to write, I may only get a paragraph or (if I'm really lucky) a few pages. It's very hard not to beat myself up about my lack of production, but I try to remember that writing non-fiction and fiction are different kinds of skills.Carmella Van Vleethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986145304172231832noreply@blogger.com
