Hello all! It's been another week. How has life been treating you and your writing?

This week's picture is Jean Leon Gerome's Cave Canem (Beware of Dog).

I had a pretty good week. I'm not at my most productive but I'm slowly working up to that again. I've started making sure I write something every day, even if it's just a sentence. I used to do that and it helped because often I would start out planning to just dash out my sentence for the day and then I would get sucked into the story.

Writing (at least) one sentence a day seems like a good strategy. I had decided to do that too until I suddenly started questioning what to work on. Even if that first sentence doesn't open the floodgates, it keeps me from letting myself ignore the writing of the story (as opposed to the thinking about it).

That's a good way of putting it. I have been devoting way too much time to the daydreaming stage lately because my daydreams can't be judged. I need to spend more time actually writing, which I have been doing better with so far.
