We all have writing days that are so amazingly productive that we wonder what the other days are all about. Hey, this isn’t so bad you think. At the end of your 5 pages, or your 500 words or your blog post, you think, man that was easy. Every day should be this good. Only we both know it’s not. But you can use these days to your advantage. Not by writing more on those days, though you can certainly do that if you want to. But when you are feeling that creative, you can use those days to add to your spreadsheet of ideas. You should always have a spreadsheet of scenes (if you’re a novelist) or article ideas or blog posts ready to go for those days when writing is like pulling teeth, only without the novacaine. Then on mornings you are stuck you can refer to that spreadsheet.
