You Don't Have To Write Every Day

A lot of writing advice focuses on finding a schedule and sticking to it. "No matter what, treat it like a job." Well, I'm here today with a caveat to that.

There's nothing inherently wrong with sticking to a writing routine. But you shouldn't carve it into a stone tablet and flinch at the mere thought of missing a day.

Life happens. If you keep your head down writing all the time, you'll look up one day and realize just how much you missed. And also, life happens. Some things are out of our hands, and there's no point in worrying about what we can't control.

So get out and do more than just write. You'll have some fun, learn things, make memories... and, just maybe, have something interesting to put on paper.
