Here’s something most writers never track.
Restart time.
Every time you stop writing for several days, your brain spends the next session trying to remember:
💥Where was I?
💥What was happening in the story?
💥What was the emotional tone?
Researchers studying creative flow have found that interruptions can create a significant re-entry cost.
Sometimes 30 minutes or more.
This is why small consistent sessions work better than long gaps.
This isn’t because they produce more words.
But because they protect story continuity.
Where do you notice restart time creeping into your writing?
