WRITE |
|
|
Write every day. For me, writing is a habit as much as a creative process. |
|
| Make a set time to write and set a minimum time even if its only ten minutes | |
It doesn't matter if what you write is thrown away the next day. It's still progress and the good stuff will come. |
|
| Writing every day keeps the story alive - the plot, the characters - they never fade and you don't have to refamiliarise with them each time you sit down to write. | |
My characters talk to me all the time. I read somewhere a writer was worried about having an accident because her charaters started talking whenever she stopped at the traffic lights. I was so relieved to find I wasn't the only crazy one! |
|
In my first year of writing I wrote three 30,000 word manuscripts and started a fourth. None of them were publishable - or even very good. But I was writing and I was improving all the time |
