Write 15 minutes a day
January 11th 2010 22:33
One of the best things writers can do to advance their writing is so simple it almost feels silly to spell it out. At least on paper, that is. I know from my own and other writers' experience that sitting down every day for at least 15 minutes is much harder than it sounds. You have to cut out something else to make time for your writing time.
Writers who are serious about their craft will find something in their day they consider worth sacrificing, though. The choice is simple: Switch the telly on or go to your desk. Sleep until it's time to get up for the day job, or set the alarm 30 minutes early and write first thing in the morning. Say no when your colleagues go for a drink after work.
Again, all these things are much easier put on paper than into practice. They are sacrifices, after all. Give them a try, though, and I'm sure you will find them worth making them.
What are you willing to sacrifice for your writing?
