i used to try to, but i’d end up with very little progress and it wouldn’t be up to the standard i usually wrote at and id end up scrapping it all because i’d hate it. now, i wait until i feel like writing to do it, because without that motivation, i don’t produce anything near as good as i usually do. id also get so burnt out trying to force it when i wasn’t in the mood, and it made me hate writing in general for a while.
