I write every day. One would think it would be easy, without a day job to go to, but you'd be surprised. I honestly don't see how people with jobs, or kids at home do it. But I know they're out there. My hat's off to them. Kudos.

Personally, I'm more of a functioning human in the early hours of the day, so I wake up at 5:30, catch up on my social networking stuff while I have coffee and plan my day. Then I spend an hour or two getting everybody up and out of the house, so I can work.

Obviously, some days are better than others. Lots of times I sit and re-read what I've written, knowing it's horrible, yet having no idea what to do to fix it. That's when I go back to basics. I utilize the correction functions on Word, as annoying as they are. If it's underlined in green, I find a different way to say it, until the green squiggly is gone. Then I start looking for passive voice sentences, and extraneous "thats". I check out my adverb usage, see if I can re-write the scene (see more at http://conleycorner.blogspot.com/)
