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

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
