Writing post

I've been struggling with wrisomifu, folks. I'm not going to say I'm failing at it, because as fitofpique rightly pointed out the other day, the point of wriso is simply to try, and I've been pretty good about sitting down for ten to fifteen minutes at the end of the day (though less good about checking in). But I'm having have a hard time focusing and moving forward in those ten minutes. Often I'll fuss with things I've already written, or I'll write a few lines that don't feel connected to the rest of my story. It's frustrating, because I've experienced this lack of focus and momentum during wriso before.

( So here's a mid-month check-in, in an attempt to learn from my mistakes. )

What have you learned about yourselves as writers or creators, flist? Do you find yourself facing the same challenges or frustrations over and over? Have you been able to make any changes in approach that have improved the process for you?
