Become A More Productive Writer
Hello, everyone! I hope you had a good weekend! I’m doing great. I’ve been working a lot lately on being a more productive writer.
What do I consider a productive writer? I guess that would be someone who writes regularly. Someone who gets the words on paper and meets the goals and deadlines she’s decided on. Someone who doesn’t procrastinate and doesn’t let her fear and self-doubt overwhelm her. Also, someone who uses her time wisely instead of wasting it on meaningless things.
Understanding Different Point of Views
There are three main types of point of view (POV): first person, second person, and third. I've talked about understanding POV before, but since choosing the right POV for your story is so important, I wanted to share more of what I learned about the advantages and disadvantages of each.
The Power of Daily Writing
One piece of writing advice I keep seeing in books and all over the web is to “write every day.” Over the last week I’ve been taking that advice more to heart.
I never used to write every day. I was more of a binge writer, writing only when I felt inspired, and then for long hours at a time. But I would always get burned out and have to take a long break. This lead to day after day being wasted because I was too tired or I didn’t feel inspired anymore. Sometimes weeks would go by and I wouldn’t work on my writing at all and that definitely won’t get me anywhere.
