I just wrote a blog about my weekly writing schedule but after posting and thinking about it I realized that without planning it I have fallen into a "writing ritual" on the weekends
During the week it is pretty routine, I just eat something fast when I get home from work then plant myself in front of the computer until its done but on the weekends it is something completely different.
I wake up early on Saturday and Sunday and after my normal daily shower and ready for the day routine I make my pot of coffee. As the coffee is brewing I get out my notes and arrange them next to my work station and then open up my document on the computer and read what I wrote the day before.
I get my coffee and sit on the couch and sip while I think about my last passage. I go back to the computer before my cup is done and start writing. After a page is done I get up and walk around the house cleaning and thinking.
I go back to the computer write another page and get up again and clean something else lol
I keep doing this, while adding more coffee, until I am done for the day.
I usually write between 3 and 5 thousand words on the weekends
I feel like it has become my weekend writing ritual lol
I also find that working in complete silence works best for me, so quiet that I can hear the birds chirping outside...which makes me smile
What do you all do?
