Hi, everyone. It’s the first Wednesday of the month, so it’s time for our question from the Insecure Writers Support Group.
Here is this month’s question:
Are there months or times of the year that you are more productive with your writing than other months, and why?
In short, no. Living with autoimmune disease, having a full-time job, doing research; all of these impact my ability to write. Throw in the stress of COVID-19, and I’m just not producing on the level I would like.
And you know what? That’s fine. Every word we get down on paper (or the screen, but you know what I mean) is one we didn’t have before. Be gentle with yourself, friends. There are no rules.
I am also pretty steady with my writing, Sharon, and I don’t have more productive months. I think in cold climates a lot of writers are more productive during the winter months.

I suspect you’re correct. Also, those who work in academia and may spread their pay out over summer months when class is not in session may be more productive during that time.

Hi Sharon! We write whenever we can, right? I love your “rule” of no rules and being gentle with ourselves. Writers, especially, put a lot of pressure on themselves. It has to remain fun and there are an incredible amount of distractions (called “life”) ALL THE TIME! Happy writing when the mood strikes and time is available and happy holidays!
