I did this recently. Kinda had to as my wonderful and trusty laptop of the last few years, with ALL of my documents, books in the works, and important papers is on its last legs after being in the accident with me. We both got a little borked, only my laptop is not healing, lol.

The last few articles I wrote took five plus hours. One took three days. I will not detail my frustration and anger with that whole process, you can imagine it if you're feeling frisky ;) I finally felt alright enough to go out and shop for a bluetooth keyboard so I can at least work from my android tablet while I am awaiting the insurance settlement for my damaged items.

In the meantime, I was "writing" on my cell phone, which, of course is damaged from the same tousling about the laptop and I received, but works a little faster at the moment.

But a funny thing happened while I was unable to work- my brain stopped being able to!

I write every day. It is my job. I take a few days off like holidays and important family days and such, but I would say I definitely work at least 350 days a year. It's the nature of the beast when you work from home- there's no PTO or sick days. So since the accident I've been sporadic at best with work and its making me actually lose my ability.

I rarely struggle with ideas. I can usually, 99 out of 100 times, sit down at my laptop and pound out an article. I've been doing this for so long that I am used to it. That's the thing, when you do it every day it becomes easy. Second nature if you will. I used to experience the dreaded Writers Block, but I suppose I have enough ideas stored away from years of doing what I do that it is not even an issue.

If you want to be a writer, you must write every day. Even with my brief hiatus I am starting to get rusty and having to struggle! Writing is like anything else- you have to exercise it to keep it strong ;)

Write on my friends!
