Why should we engage in writing rituals? The purpose of writing rituals is to habituate our writing, to make that time feel off or wrong when we do not write. Rituals are supposed to make you feel a bit anxious if you do not engage in the desired behavior! When your writing is going well, when you are consistently settling in and using your writing sessions efficiently, you may tell yourself that you do not need to do rituals, believing that they are somehow superfluous now that "you got this!!"
However, engaging in writing rituals before each session is not for when things are going well, but for when you are not wanting to write, when there are more reasons for you to desist than normal. You want to construct a writing life that is sustainable over time--rituals are a key aspect to this habit.
