How
to make time for writing:
- Pick a space. It can be your
dining room table or a desk, even the couch. But
the idea is that this is special, sacred event.
Its where inspiration happens. Try to set it
apart.
- Set a time. It can be 5am or
11:00pm. Whatever it is, just try to make it
consistent. You need to show up every day at this
time and put your butt in the chair. It doesnt
matter if you have any idea what youre going to
write; until you commit to a time, you never will.
- Choose a topic. This can be a
hundred words or a thousand words. Whatever it is,
give yourself grace. 100-1000 is sufficient to
form a writing habit.
