So, I had my day all planned out yesterday. Knew when I was going to complete what task and have everything done at a certain time. I didn't write any of it down, just had it mentally planned out. Well, needless to say, my day didn't go as I'd originally anticipated. Sure, I got some things checked off my list, but not everything. At least not when it came to writing. It seemed like whenever I sat down to write, something would come up. Or, the creative flow just wasn't there. And I didn't want to force my creativity.
My writing was what suffered the most yesterday. Maybe because I was trying to put a time limit on it. And sometimes the creativity just needs to flow. Or maybe I did things backwards yesterday. I tried to do the writing in between working on household tasks. For next time, I'm going to get those household tasks out of the way with before sitting down to write. That way, I won't feel so pressured to crank out a legible chapter in a short amount of time.
When things don't go as you originally planned, how do you handle it?
