I actually find writing every day to be actively bad for me and for the amount of writing I get done. Frequently, yes. Six days a week when possible, yes. But not seven. I have heard a friend talking about how she would feel so guilty if she didn't write on the day of her mother's funeral.

I really do want you to be able to get writing done, and I am in total sympathy with frustration over the days when something external is making it hard. I just find the "every day" advice to be one of the more toxic pieces of "one size fits all," and I hope you can get to a size that better fits you and still results in stuff getting done as you want it to.
