Things Writers do that feel Unproductive but aren't!!!
โก Staring out a window for twenty minutes before a single word
โก Rereading the same paragraph six times before moving forward
โก Lying on the floor thinking about a scene that isn't written yet
โก Taking a walk with no phone just to let something untangle
โก Reading a book that has nothing to do with your current project
โก Sitting in a cafรฉ doing nothing but absorbing the atmosphere
โก Daydreaming about characters like they're real people you know
โก Rewriting the first chapter for the fourth time instead of continuing
โก Listening to your playlist on repeat until the mood arrives
โก Journaling about why you can't write instead of writing
โก Reorganizing your notes, your files, your whole system
โก Reading your own old work looking for who you used to be
โก Researching something minor for three hours because accuracy matters to you
โก Sleeping on a problem and waking up with the answer
โก Having a full conversation in your head between two characters
โก Watching people in public and cataloguing everything
โก Cooking or cleaning while your brain quietly solves the plot problem
โก Writing the same scene in three different tones just to feel it out
โก Abandoning the document and writing by hand for a while
โก Reading poetry when prose feels impossible
โก Watching a film just to study how a scene transition works
โก Making a new playlist because the old one stopped working
โก Sitting with discomfort until the scene becomes clear
โก Rereading your favorite book and taking it apart sentence by sentence
โก Writing a scene you know won't make the final draft just to understand the character
โก Doing nothing and trusting that it's filling something up
โก Reading the acknowledgements of every book you finish
