So, I had planned to get some work done on my novel this week.
Spoiler: I have not.
There are very real reasons for this – it has been a jumbled week, I had a lot of other tasks on my list, I was sick…
But I did have time and energy to write.
What I didn’t do was the very thing I advise all my clients to do.
I did not get specific about my writing plans.
‘Work on my novel’ is not a specific plan, it’s a very general one. And besides, how will I know when I’m done?
‘Write an argument between Mike and Bug about the missing key chain’ – that’s specific.
I need to get that kind of specific about my next set of writing plans.
Unfortunately, that takes some forethought and planning and my brain is not cooperating on that sort of thing at the moment.
Brains can be such jerks.
