I'm laughing because it happens to me frequently.
There are some days where I end up writing nothing or very little. The trick on those days is NOT to be hard on myself.
Other days, when I start off slow, I continue writing, even when what I'm writing is lousy- and like practicing scales on the piano- after a while, I get into a zone and the words and thoughts begin to take shape. By the time I finish the first draft, I frequently feel like I've had a terrific work out....and that the sweat and angst has been worth it!
