This was great! I’m a slow writer and I got amazingly good ideas to set daily. Like write a predetermined number of words a day. Write short scenes. When you’re writing creatively, refuse to go into research or edit mode. And on and on. Thank you so much!
I’m so glad those tips were helpful, Carolyn!
An outstanding podcast! Full of great information and practical ways to apply it! Thank you, Thomas and Tricia!
I’m glad you enjoyed it, MaryAnn!
Tricia, I can testify that rising early before anyone else is awake is a key way to get in the day’s writing time when you know it’s going to be a busy, noisy, disruptive day otherwise. I don’t even have kids, but I do have a very small house and no office door to shut, so on Saturdays to get my writing done I get up at 3 or 4am, knowing my husband (the night owl) is likely to sleep until 8, and write during those hours. If I don’t get a chance to write again that day I’m mentally and emotionally OK with that. If I don’t do this we all suffer, lol. I’d be willing to pull a night shift if I have to, in order to get my writing time in.
