Top 3 Writing Tips to Stay on Track

"Tik Tok! Write on Time-A BoldlyWrite Novel Planner is here to help writers stay on track." Are you struggling to find time to write? Discover my three tips to develop a solid writing habit, stay inspired, and meet your goals.

When do I have time to write? It's like everything else I have to schedule. Of course, there's that 8-hour-a-day work schedule that is a must. Trust me when I tell you I like a schedule and checking off tasks on my to-do list. Over the years, I have incorporated writing into my daily routine (working out, working for a living, and self-care). In fact, I have made writing a priority by making it part of my self-care routine.

So, how do I develop a daily writing habit? Here are my top three tips:

  1. Develop a habit of writing at least fifteen to thirty minutes daily. If you write 50 words or 500 words, edit, or research, you are practicing the writing process. Keep prioritizing this time for your writing.

  2. Be mindful of when you feel inspired to write. I like writing in the morning after my morning walks. I feel more energized and creative. There have been times when I am walking, and an idea hits me. That is when I will record the idea via my iPhone. It's one way for me to stay productive and multitask. Yes, I like to multitask. Grab these moments when you are inspired to write.

  3. Set goals and have a plan. For example, I know that my children's picture book word count should be between 300 and 700 words, and my romance books should be between 50,000 and 90,000. With the word count and a breakdown of when I want to complete my project, I can create a schedule and meet my deadline.

    Planning your writing time is crucial. The BoldlyWrite Novel planner will help you set realistic goals, track your word counts, and organize your ideas all in one place! Grab your BoldlyWrite Novel Planner now!
