Find Time to Write

Hello Poetteers,

Life may get in the way and make it hard to find time to write.

1. Wake up early

The silence, the fresh mind and clear head can get the gears going.

2. Stay up late

There is something about the night that puts your head in a different place.

3. Tell people

When you tell someone you have this urge to do it. You have someone to hold you accountable.

4. Stay away from distractions

I've said this before, don't go on your phone or social media until after you start working. One thing that will make it easier to do this is turning off the notifications on your phone.

5. Take advantage of your breaks

The words will eventually add up and seeing it will make you want to complete it.

6. Keep a notebook with you

Ideas have a way of creeping up on you and come at the most random times. You don't want to forget them.

7. Schedule it into your already busy day

When you see it on your to do list you have a better chance of doing it.

8. Leave off on a cliffhanger

When you leave off like that you look forward to the next time you get to sit down and figure out the rest.

9. Braindump

Having all your ideas down or an outline gets you one step closer to writing the story.

10. Meditation

Sitting in silence, you get to reflect on your day. You get in touch with your intuition.

stay inspired,

Fida

Hearing About IWSG

Hello readers, I was reading Ali's post about this support group that talks about writerly doubts. I have doubts and I shall share them because that's the point of a support group. I used to be insecure about traditional publishing, that no one with accept my writing. Then I heard of self publishing. Yet that added to my insecurities. I have no money or talent to showcase my writing. After IndieReCon I felt a better, yet once the high went away, I find it's only a little bit better. I need a team, I need help. I call for help, but I don't get replies. That's another insecurity, I don't think I have any fans. My blog is becoming dead and I keep thinking of deactivating my twitter. The only reason I stay is for the knowledge. And the worse insecurity, dare I say it. All the above add to me... wanting to quit writing. I have little motivation and that motivation is to show my Muslim community you don't have to be a doctor or lawyer or teacher to be...
