14 Ways To Get More Writing Done

(The back story is here)

1. Accept slimmer time-slices for writing. Sure, we'd all like a whole day on our article, but accept a hurried 20 mins during lunch.
2. Accept a less than perfect environment. No, you're not overlooking the sea. So, no distractions, then?
3. Have your writing materials with you all of the time.
4. Set a target for each day. Number of words in minimum time.
5. Drive out the quantity, then edit for quality.
6. Never, ever accept 'writer's block'. Accept that there are tricky days, snowy days and days when you argue with your boyfriend. But none of these cause a real writer a real block. They just provide more material.
7. Write when you have a cold.
8. Read the great writers to (re-inspire) you.
9. Let go of needing the early approval of others. Even publishers. Come on, of their own admission, what do they know?
10. Forget the money whilst writing.
11. Forget best-seller lists whilst writing
12. Forget your Mum whilst writing.
13. Just start
14. Just start. Now.
