I try to write every day. i don't beat myself up about word counts, or how many hours are ticking by on the clock before i'm allowed to go and do something else. i just try to keep a hand in and work every single day, even if there are other demands or i'm on a book tour or have the flu or something, because then i keep my unconscious engaged with the book. then i'm always a little bit writing, no matter what else i'm doing.
