I do most of the things on this list I write between 1500 and 2000 words a day. I do it from my bed. The only days I don’t write are days that are reserved for family, and days that my pain is too much for me. Since I started writing in about March, I have finished one book and it is going to the editor on June 1, and have started a second book. The second book hasn’t come as easily as the first, but I still write every day. I don’t seem to struggle As some authors do. I know writing is hard and I just plod along if necessary. But when I sit down to write, I write. That’s ultimately how I stay productive.
