Monday Master Class: How to Schedule Your Writing Like a Professional Writer
Read this excellent article, surveying professional writers on their writing habits.
Main tips that come out of this:
- Write daily (or at least regularly) for a measured amount of time — not in a heroic dash at the last minute
- Write somewhere quiet without distractions
- Have a ritual that you go through to get you into writing mode (similar to the NaNoWriMo ‘totem’)
- Work in 2-3 hour chunks then stop.
- Reread the last few pages of yesterday’s work before you start today’s.
- Get up early and write early — don’t leave it to evenings / afternoons
