I've read somewhere that when you're writing, you should stop while you're doing well so you always want to go back to work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Like everyone else, there are days when I don't want to go to work. However, writing is a job like anything else.
I have no writing habit. I work when I feel like it, and I work when I have to - mostly the latter.
What I tend to do is I try and get as much writing done... I get as much writing done at home before I go into work.
Writing is a strange and solitary activity. There are dispiriting times when you start working on the first few pages of a novel. Every day, you have the feeling you are on the wrong track. This creates a strong urge to go back and follow a different path. It is important not to give in to this urge but to keep going.
If you're a writer, you're always working.
How can you stop writing?
Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.
Even when I am writing I usually take a break around lunchtime and go for a little walk to clear out my head.
Once I start writing, I can't stop.
Sometimes I decide I don't want to write because it isn't the thing for me to be doing right then, and I go do something else.
