Okay, so yesterday I wrote this great entry about how much fun it's been writing poetry every day.

Today...I have nothing.

Also I'm tired and cranky and menstruating.

I'm going to go eat another piece of chocolate and light some incense and hunt for the heating pad and take some Tylenol.

Meh.

I've known an awful lot of people who resolved to write a thousand words every day, no matter what. I've never known a single one who has been able to keep it up consistently for months or years, and most haven't managed one month.

Give yourself a break until you're feeling better, then get back on your bandwagon when you're ready. The important thing is not sticking with things when they're not working - it's making sure they work more often than they falter. Often a day off is needed to recoup the energies that creativity takes.
