I'm a teacher and have my writing time just after I've got the littlest (7yo) off to bed, before I venture downstairs and relax with dh. It's the Easter hols now and I'm at a bit of a loss! I thought I'd get loads done, since there is more time, but it's the lack of routine that's thrown us all out, I think,<br /><br />Good choice for R!Beth Kemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182084510733977382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-54812560024874086052011-04-21T23:12:47.639-06:002011-04-21T23:12:47.639-06:00M.J., I fall off it all the time.

I decided I wasn't going to beat myself up when I didn't stick to it, though.<br /><br />Dafeenah, I was there, too. We've gotten ourselves so over scheduled around here that having a consistent time of day will be a trick when I try to get back into the routine.<br /><br />Nia, I think the only thing that's important is for a person to find whatever works best for them, whether it's a set schedule/routine, a malleable one or none at all.<br /><br />Shelli, I thought about doing a candle, too, and ended up with the lotion instead. I hope the candle routine works for you!<br /><br />Ani, thank you!<br /><br />Jo, I understand what you're saying, and it's true here, too, quite a bit of the time. I try to adjust where it's possible and not beat myself up when it's impossible. As for kids, my oldest is only 6, but he's already so independent and grown up that it makes me sad and proud at the same time. I love his little boyisms, though, like being grossed out when his favorite character, Indiana Jones, kisses someone. LOL! I think my little girl will stay little just a teeny bit longer than he did (hopefully). Though attitude-wise, she is quite the teenager already. Sheesh.<br /><br />Lydia, aw, my daughter loves to sing with Caillou, too. And, of course, that means I have it in my head quite regularly, as well. I imagine living with other people can mess up everything, really. I hope you're in a position to be able to jump back into your writing again, and soon.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-12106803003096788672011-04-21T18:08:38.551-06:002011-04-21T18:08:38.551-06:00My daughter just LOVES Caillou!

Since having my daughter I haven't been able to find that groove again for writing. I have so many things I want to finish and can't seem to find the motivation anymore. Perhaps it's because we have lived with other people for over a year. Maybe once we live by ourselves again I can find my niche...Lydia Elizabeth Burnwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081888797720807169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-66175699328746411022011-04-21T16:54:14.102-06:002011-04-21T16:54:14.102-06:00(= Sometimes I have routine-- but I'm rather f...(= Sometimes I have routine-- but I'm rather flexible--since my life can get very complicated at times.<br />The Caillou days don't last long... they are precious.

I've also thought about creating a writing ritual to let my muse know it's time to kick in. Something simple like lighting a candle, putting on some good writing music, and taking deep breaths.Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068094486297918345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-29114640181186398902011-04-21T08:15:25.026-06:002011-04-21T08:15:25.026-06:00I don't have a set routine, but I do make one ...I don't have a set routine, but I do make one that varies daily. Still I need it, because with so many other things going on, I would never get writing done without it. And good for you, that your daughter just goes along for the ride. :)NiaRaiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245742876021926812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-59847975998318550242011-04-20T23:24:35.967-06:002011-04-20T23:24:35.967-06:00I know I would get more done if I had a routine, b...I know I would get more done if I had a routine, but unfortunately with my work and life, routines are hard to come by.Dafeenahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078199274088729529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-18586519122877482442011-04-20T23:17:16.087-06:002011-04-20T23:17:16.087-06:00I think I would be more productive if I could stic...I think I would be more productive if I could stick with a routine.
