This year has become all about finding out how I work best to keep a clear commitment so I can write when it gets hard but also take time off so I can stay fresh and excited about writing.<br /><br />The taking time off thing has been a recent lightbulb moment. I wrote a minimum of 100-150 words every day for 40-odd days straight. Now I think I would rather write 500 words for 4-5 days out of the week. Not only will I not feel the demand of writing when life takes over a day but it will be more productive.<br /><br />Most of all I find that approaching writing as an experiment doesn't leave room for getting it wrong or failing. When you don't know what the outcome will be then you only take what you learn from it and the fact that you've learnt something is guaranteed success.Kerryn Angellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05107186121152495872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021826296342479548.post-23564272096536389252011-04-01T03:54:26.923-04:002011-04-01T03:54:26.923-04:00Great advice. #7 is new to me...my first writing d...Great advice. #7 is new to me...my first writing days off is planned for the summer when I'm on honeymoon...although I'm still planning on sneaking some writing time in! ;)J.C.

I normally start off well and then it filters off into nothingness, so I think #1 is most applicable.<br />Thanks for the tips, maybe it'll help me keep in my habit this time around.Jake Heneganhttp://writinginmediasres.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021826296342479548.post-75678025968865380062011-03-31T20:43:11.722-04:002011-03-31T20:43:11.722-04:00Fantastic advice, Gabi!

So much of a well crafted story happens after the initial fun, after the great idea. But persistence does pay off!Jenny Torres Sanchezhttp://jennytorressanchez.comnoreply@blogger.com
