Diary of Being a Writer; Week 141

So life gets in the way sometimes.

The training for my new job is intense. Excellent but tiring.
Today is my writing day. The day I should be researching agents or making changes to my WIP.
But I just want to go and watch The Crown. I was going to watch it last night, but dramas beyond our control kept taking precedence.
Do I let myself off the hook and go and relax or do I at least try and get some writing-related activities done?

How about if I get some decent work done this morning? Can watch TV all afternoon then?
But I can go and have another coffee first. Right?

I thought I could just watch one episode and then do work. Nope wrong way around! That is not how rewards work. Not if they consist of compelling storytelling and you don’t stop after one episode.

So the plan was to make up for my slack, but lovely day, by getting stuck into writing-related activities tomorrow after another intense training day. I think maybe at this point I should concede that it is okay to just take it a little easier while I am cramming my head with new knowledge for most of the week, but I still want to achieve something.
