The theme this week on Word Whores is about taking sick days from writing – eg. if you’re sick, do you still try to make your word count that day? Or is it a lost cause that better serves you by taking the time off and resting?
I suspect there’s no right or wrong answer here – it’s really down to the individual and the situation. That said, I’m definitely not a fan of beating myself up over not being able to get something done because my head’s on fire. No sense in playing a martyr – it becomes tiresome after a while, so I usually try to just make a decision and stick with it. Makes the guilt that much easier to deal with if I’m not going to get a word count in that day.
New Fox & Willow up today too, so go check that out. 🙂
