Writing Habits
What are your writing habits? I work during the day, so I do most of my writing in the evenings and on weekends. Unfortunately my most productive writing time is mid morning. Because of this I tend to accomplish more on the weekends than in the evenings. Right now I'm averaging about a chapter a week on my novel and most of that is occuring on Saturday and/or Sunday. Also I prefer a couple of hours to work rather than an hour here and an hour there.
So this is what I've come up with. On weeknights, where I don't typically have uninterrupted writing time, I try to do my research. This includes researching background material for my stories and researching markets for my short stories. If I have an evening where I know I will have a couple of hours to work then I'll work on the novel. One the weekend I plan a couple of hours where I can just sit down and write. The progess is not as quick as I would like, but it is progress.
By the way, I finished chapter 15 of Heart of Odin over the weekend and, luckily for me, I should have some uninterrupted writing time this evening to start on chapter 16.
