Now,
after having been screwed up in my writing schedule by my place of
employment changing our starting time to 7:30 from 8:00, I find
myself trying to adjust. And they've announced that they're doing a
study as to whether or not they can change our starting times
further...to 7:00. This seemingly small thing has caused me to stop
writing, because I was doing both writing and my gym time before
work. I find myself thrown off of my habits too easily. I've finally
got the gym going (after work), and now I'm thinking I'll be able to
do the writing before work. In fact, that's what I'm doing now by
writing this. It's the most I've actually written in the few weeks
since they changed our schedule.
It's said that it takes 21 days to form a habit and only about two weeks to lose the habit if you stop doing whatever it is you've been in the habit of doing, so it's kind of like starting over again. Nevertheless, we writers need to persevere and overcome these little roadblocks, for they are everywhere.

My own writing works quite differently. If I sit down to write, it might not happen at all. But if I feel the urge at 3 am, I'll be up and chewing on it or I will lose the train of thought. I appreciate discipline, but I live by inspiration.
