On a roll. Hard stop. Repeat.

This pretty much sums up my writing this year. I get going, stuck in, consistent, on a roll with it. The words are piling up, if I keep this up who knows what I will have achieved in few months!

But then, life happens.

As always.

And everything comes to a halt. Roadblocks are in my way, I suddenly don’t have the time or capacity to write.

Then, with all the momentum gone, its hard to get the motivation to start back up again. The doubts kick in, is it worth my precious time and effort? What happens if its all a pile of rubbish?

But what I feel like I have started to learn towards the end of this year, is to accept this cycle. I haven’t beaten myself up this time round for not being consistent, which is a first for me. I have been ill and so it is ok to take time off to recover. This time I have accepted that whilst I can’t be consistent just now, I will get my time and mojo back at some point.

And that is ok.

If you too are trying to work on your consistency, remember to be kind to yourself when you simply can’t be consistent. Just get back on track when you can. And keep going.
