My conclusion is always to savour the special moments-those times you spent in the Fens with your Aunt are precious. You may not have been 'productive' per se but they were moments that will remain in your memory and hers for ever.Debs Towers-Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17405486312593394999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759802438862174539.post-83696975304584061212011-04-27T13:03:01.605-07:002011-04-27T13:03:01.605-07:00I get like that, but what do is try to write '...I get like that, but what do is try to write 'a bit' every day. I tell myself 100 words will do, and come on, how hard is that? Invariably 100 turns into at least 500 and the novel grows.<br /><br />But it's ok to allow yourslef time off as well, and don't beat yourself up about it. Just set a date (after all these pesky bank holidays!) on which you will start writing again.<br /><br />I must take my own advice too. A lingering cold put paid to my running about a month ago, and being on holiday has stopped my writing. BOTH will restart NEXT WEEK.Kath McGurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02526923882402757423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759802438862174539.post-73700715727333010042011-04-27T10:12:20.849-07:002011-04-27T10:12:20.849-07:00Jo, welcome to the human race ;).Jo, welcome to the human race ;).JohnMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035688484668345993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759802438862174539.post-52271438737554088092011-04-27T09:57:54.041-07:002011-04-27T09:57:54.041-07:00Prioritising is great in theory but not so hot in ...Prioritising is great in theory but not so hot in practise. I too make lists but the rule is I only have to do complete two or three things on my list (or what seems reasonable given time constraints. The others get put on a new list for the following day but they are now nearer the top! Lists are also ways to remind you that things are outstanding and not to forget them. I don't think you need to be so hard on yourself - family time and leisure time have to come in soemwhere and ultimately they can get prioritised too! At least you've written up your blog! See, that's progress...<br />Good luck with your writing.Writer Pat Newcombehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678017709861817691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759802438862174539.post-81301559469056651452011-04-27T09:48:17.264-07:002011-04-27T09:48:17.264-07:00It's very difficult to have structure with fam...It's very difficult to have structure with family on holiday. I wouldn't beat yourself up about it Jo. They do say half an hour a day is better than nothing. I get bad days with chronic heath problems, and so a routine is very difficult for me. My family is grown up now. So my problem is the same, yet different.<br />You'll get there in the end. Keep smiling. :)Suzi Wiiliams' Write Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00605772488230295964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759802438862174539.post-77973960924285444812011-04-27T09:46:13.651-07:002011-04-27T09:46:13.651-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Suzi Wiiliams' Write Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00605772488230295964noreply@blogger.com
