When I’m working on
the first draft of a story,
I try not to take days off.
I might have
smaller word count days
but I don’t want
zero word count days.
Why?
Because spending
an entire day
away from the story
makes it more difficult
for me to return to it,
to write the next
line,
paragraph,
page.
As Newton’s first law of motion
states
“An object at rest
stays at rest
and
an object in motion
stays in motion
with the same speed
and in the same direction
unless acted upon
by an unbalanced force.”
This applies
to humans also.
Try to stay in motion,
moving in the direction
of the goal
you wish to achieve.
