One of the most common writing myths out there is the idea that you have to write every single day in order to be a writer.

I worry that this myth intimidates people who would otherwise excel at writing from pursuing their writing dreams. Every single day is a major, major commitment, and not everyone could or even should do it. Sometimes your brain needs a break to unlock a problem or maybe you just have a different rhythm.

I still have not found my "rhythm." I know that I feel pretty good when I've written at least a little each day, but it's also true that when I break my streak it's much more difficult to build back up to one. Is this because I do need the consistency of having written every day, or because I'm finally just burnt out from firing on all cylinders for weeks on end?
How about you? Have you found a rhythm that works for you, or, like me, is it a lot of starting and stopping?
