So, when should you write? Only when you are happy? If you are happy 24/7/365, then that would probably work. Or maybe you should only write during the summer? Well...I don't necessarily recommend that either.
Here are 6 times when it makes sense to write:
- When you're happy. When you are happy, content, satisfied...and you are a writer, you can enjoy that contentment and keep it flowing right into your writing. Writers feel such discovery and joy around writing and to mix that in with a time when we're already happy...wow! People might not be able to stand being around us we're so blissful.
- When you're not happy. Sometimes, the most authentic writing comes when life is NOT going well and we are not enjoying any aspect of it. While I wish you didn't have those times, I know full well that all of us do. When the unhappy, unpleasant times come - and they will - then write. You may not be writing your normal genre or style of writing...but don't miss the opportunity to write. You may feel, as Graycie Harmon did that, "Being an author is like being in charge of your own personal insane asylum." And...you might as well write about it.
- Seasons of the year - summer. Gosh, summer is a great time for writing! For some folks summer is their least busy season or at least the one that has more flexibility. If this is true for you, then see summer as a time for productive writing. It's not that you are trying to do ALL your writing in the summer (or in any of these other seasons) but rather that you recognize that the yearly rhythm offers summer as a unique time for writing.
- Seasons of the year - fall. Guess what? I'm going to say that fall is a great time for writing! For many writers, fall signals "back to school" and/or a physical and emotional change of seasons that is more apparent than other seasons because of the falling leaves and the smells of fall (in many parts of the world). Look at autumn as one of those times of using this shift to support your changes in writing focus, style, or production.
- Seasons of the year - winter. You already know what I'm going to write, don't you? Winter is a great time for writing! Depending on where you live, there might be the possibility of snowy days for luscious writing. Or, maybe you live somewhere that is scrumptiously warm even in the winter and you can revel in that and just write. It seems like there are many holidays (in the U.S.) that fall during the winter, so that's another interesting aspect of winter time for writing.
- Seasons of the year - spring. Well, it's the last time I'll say it (only because we're out of seasons after this one...), but spring is a great time for writing. There is such a sense of rebirth and awakening and change that comes around as we move from winter and spring and you can use these overall sense to awaken new ways, ideas, venues, or other shifts in your writing.
So, if you are a writer...write.
