And have had some challenges keeping my good writing habits moving forward. It's so much easier to go on DU!!

So I have set aside an hour or two every morning, after the coffee is made, to write. The goal is 1,000 - 1,500 words per day, or a good solid session of editing. Getting hooked back into my story helps me to get my mind off politics etc.

Then I make sure I get outside to walk my dog and work in the garden. I'm retired, so my schedule is very flexible.

And then I probably do get back on DU! Like now.

Good luck.
