>>31630474I work full time. I come home, make coffee and ask my muse if she's awake. If she is I write. If all I get is a snore or rude gesture I play vidya. Sometimes I'll start writing and then she'll fuck off so I switch to playing games. Sometimes she wakes up right after I start playing or when I start cracking open my backlog and pesters me. That's when I switch gears.
Basically my approach is just to take it all in stride and do whatever it is I feel in the mood to do. This ensures my work is done from a position of interest and not obligation - I do enough obligatory writing at work anyway. If a prolonged period passes without me writing I become anxious and start writing anyway, but that's a failsafe I'm quite happy I have, and it can't exactly be learned or practiced.
So that's my advice. Write when the mood strikes you, because otherwise you're forcing yourself, and forcing yourself isn't worth it except as a desperate measure.
