Getting Behind on the writing

In the past two days I have only written a page and a half. Ugh! That Sucks!

Don’t really know what my problem is. I am procrastinating again. I keep doing other work until late at night and then when I sit down to write, my brain feels fried.

At least last night I made myself do a little research. I spent some time reading some articles about writing sex scenes with the right amount of emotion. I can’t believe how much I still have to learn. Everytime I pick up a new writing article to read, I get those AHA moments. Problem is I could read articles about HOW to write until the cows come home and that doesn’t get the book written. I keep reviewing workshops, articles, conventions etc. I think it is high time I spent more time actually writing instead of learning about writing. I need to find the happy medium that will allow me to get the book done at the same time improving my craft.

I would love to hear from some other writers on what their daily writing schedule is like. How much time do you spend learning vs. writing?

It is only 2:30 in the afternoon and I am going to go lock myself in my room right now and I am not coming out until I have at least several pages/scenes written.

Now if only I could stay away from MySpace. LOL
