Writing Schedule
Friday, September 4
Your writing need a GOAL.
Even if its just "Finish this chapter by Friday," or "Write a novel this year," its a Goal. Your stretching yourself to get something done instead of doodling aimlessly on a sheet of paper.
Do you want to be a published author someday? Someday soon? Short spasms of a few genius pages a month won't get that novel done.
If I waited for inspiration to knock on my door before I wrote I'd get, say, about five chapters done a year. (Trust me, that's what happened.)
But get this; if you don't achieve the goal, IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. Just give yourself a new due date.
But reward yourself IF and WHEN you accomplish your goal. (Mmmm...chocolate.)
GOALS. Set goals for yourself and push yourself to meet them. Authors don't get anywhere if they're not willing to find the time to write.
