If there's one thing I've learned from a life with chronic illnesses, it's that daily energy is not constant, no matter what we do.  Some days you can do a lot, and some days just making it to the next day is a lot.  Writing is like that, too.

And sometimes, even when you have the energy for writing and no other tasks that need to get done instead, you still just don't want to write.  And that's OK, too.  Our brains need rest the same as our bodies.  Besides, when you come back to your writing, you'll be that much fresher and eager to do it.

Forgive me a few moments of astrology talk, but I promise it's leading somewhere.

Today was a partial solar eclipse (not visible in my part of the world, but holy cats, was it felt!) and the astro-weather has been, uh... well, it's been!  And when you're in these kinds of times where brains might be buzzing less with ideas and more with static, it's important to give yourself grace if you're not "as productive" as you want to be, however that looks to you.

So make sure you take time to rest!  If you've written anything at all today, congrats!  Celebrate it and take some time to decompress.  If writing hasn't happened at all today, that's fine!  Read over a piece of your writing you're proud of (whether finished or a WIP) and do something fun as a reward for being kind to yourself.

Good (insert your local time of day)! Hope all is doing well!

How has writing gone today?

Do you have a piece of fiction you've written 10+ years ago that you want to revisit? It doesn't necessarily need to be in the sense of wanting to rewrite it or write a sequel.

Do you have rituals related to writing? Do you like to make a cup of tea before writing? Reread the last couple hundred words of your WIP? Read a few pages of a book?

Hello everyone!

How has your writing gone today? Did you focus on getting words down, did you do some editing, or brainstorming?

Today's discussion question: What's the funniest thing you've researched for a fic? As an example, since I had some characters doing some traveling, I was wondering when canning was first invented. Apparently, canning as we know it can be traced to Napoleon I looking for a way to transfer a lot of preserved food for his army.
