Unlock the Surprising Secret to Staying Inspired While Writing Through the Holidays
Be proactive. Set a date when your Holiday Hiatus officially begins. On that date, you can still write. But you only get 1 minute per day. Just one minute, and then you absolutely positively must stop. No cheating. No writing for 2 minutes. You must be firm. 1 minute per day.
Until the Holiday Hiatus is over.
What does this do?
It maintains your writing habit. Your pace has slowed down, sure. But your habit is alive and hungry and screaming to be let loose again.
Once your Holiday Hiatus is over, ramp up again. If your habit has a long history of many months, then ramp up fast. Do 5 minutes for a few days, then 10 for a few, and keep going until you’re back to your regular schedule. If your habit is less firmly grounded, then ramp up slower.
