Oh, What the Heck, Write for More Than Two Hours If You Want

It occurs to me I should not have said flat-out (in the New Year's Resolutions post) that you shouldn't try for more than two hours of writing at a stretch or you would burn out. It's just that often new writers get very over-ambitious, and set up unrealistic writing schedules that leave them discouraged. I have since been reminded that some people - not many, but some - can in fact write all day if they've a mind to. So you be the judge. It it really doesn't exhaust you, or if the only time you have to write regularly is nine to noon Sunday, or whatever, go ahead and write for a long time. Just stay realistic with what YOU can do. And remember, even fifteen minutes five times a week, or three hours once a week, is a whole, whole lot better than no writing at all.

Keep it up!
