Journalism Never Sleeps
It’s a full-time job
It’s a full-time job
I read, sometimes, that even though we should write furiously every day of the week, nobody will be reading on the weekend.
Writers have lives, too. There are pools to be cleaned and polo ponies to be fed. Deposit slips must be made out.
Many say the weekend is just not the time to write.
Begging to differ, however, I have found that small amounts of inactivity produce lacks in inertia that are not quickly overcome. The weekends are important only to calendar-makers.
Besides the obvious psychological inertia, I have found a surprising drop in reads of existing pieces that take a day or two to rebuild.
So for me, the answer is to have some completed pieces “in the can” to publish over the weekends if I had plans that made regular writing difficult.
