It's Monday again (and again and again)
Mondays should be available for fresh words and the ability to write with energy and clarity. Instead, Mondays often seem to start out like that old saying, "a day late and a dollar short". I'm learning not to have high hopes for a high word count on Mondays. It's more of a day to make certain there are writing supplies and to get other tasks out of the way so that Tuesday I can begin with as little clutter in the mental queue as possible. I do make a few notes if I can, but I don't begin the great American novel on Monday, ever. Depending on your circumstances, you may have Mondays on Thursdays or on Sundays. Wherever your proverbial Monday comes in your week, I would suggest that you recognize it, face it and use it for the things that will get you ready to write with a vengeance the next few days.
