I write in batches. Often I get discouraged if I go on too long, so I give myself a word count to meet and I try to meet that. It's the little successes that matter.

For me writing no longer feels like a choice. Of course I know that it is, I can quit anytime, but I feel lost when I am not writing. It is such a release for all the mental crap that goes through my head. I love the creation process... so it truly is not a chore. It is something I very much enjoy. :tiphat:
