A rare writing groove…
…of course, a few hours before the paper is due, but not too stressful because I had a good draft to work with. Giving myself raw material is so important-just starting somewhere. Yet creating the space to be a writer is also important. I know I write better in the morning so I dragged myself out of bed and wrote for 40 minutes this morning. It always pays off. But most of the time the willpower not to snooze or reset the alarm escapes me.
When do you write best? What do you do to inspire yourself when it feels like drudgery? How do you find a rhythm for scholarly writing? Is it similar or different to how we find rhythms for other kinds of writing?
