My friend Heather Boyd and her romance writer pals have a new blog called Ladyscribes, featuring crit Fridays! Go have a look.

Seriously, Back Up Your Shit

I can't express this enough. If you back up your shit in three places, you probably need it in four.

Mindset

For many of us, analytical mindset is waaay different than creative mindset. Value those creative mindset times! And respect those analytical mindset times. What can you do in analytical mindset if you find it impossible to write?

• Bully yourself into doing a few hundred words anyway
• Edit
• Market research
• Outline/plot (I hadn't though of this 'til after recording, but maybe this would be a grand use of analytical brain!)
• Catch up on other chores so your next day is clearer

Your Assignment

Make a plan about what you'll do the next time you're not in the right headspace to write, then jot it down somewhere as a reminder.
