Procrastination...

So I wanted to make a whole site for my writing, but after just one or two chapters I would be unable to keep up a steady schedule. I already have the whole plot mapped out and everything, I just don't feel the energy to do a certain part that I'm at but don't want to try writing a later part in case I get something wrong in the details. How do you tackle problems like this?

I have a really great solution to procrastination that works wonders.... but I'm too lazy to say what it is right now, maybe tomorrow.

do other productive things like chores or cleanig. Sometimes writing is a chore and it's easier to do after doing other, simpler tasks.

Funny thing, once you hear that word and find out about that words definition, you become a real procrastinator. That's how it changed me. :/

I think Arc gave some good advice. I answered a similar question not too long ago in the "how to deal with off days" thread further down the Creative Writing forums. Also, don't try to force yourself to do it. That only leads to bad writing.

constant practice is something that should be done. just like anything constant practice is required or you get rusty. just got myself out my slump recently. I set an alarm for a time I'm free everyday and write 100 words of something minimum. it doesn't have to be good. it just has to be something. you will realise that you get good days and bad days regardless of what you're doing. but because writing is on your mind daily, it's much easier to pick up the mindset to write.
