Here are five things I could do given I feel out of sorts with writing and I don’t feel like writing at all:
1. Open up an old file of poems or short stories – start reading and editing – writers need plenty of practice at editing.
2. Read something good I’ve written just to remind myself.
3. Go on the net or Twitter – don’t do this Avril, as chunks of wasted time lie in waiting – and it rarely has the desired motivational effect.
4. Go out in my garden – weed, sit, enjoy.
5. Just write on…
Today it’s number 4 – after all the sun’s out and calling…and the garden definitely needs weeding and sitting in – but first a quick look at the wonderful A garden for pablo for inspiration
A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. –James Dent
