1. Keep a running, 5-minute To Do list: write anywhere, anytime
In my everyday life, I’m a marketer. Frequently I’m home late, and there’s very little time for writing. I decided that I could do more writing, even at work, if I set myself some tiny tasks which I could do in five minutes or less.
In five minutes, you can:
- Work on a character description;
- Brainstorm in your writing journal;
- Set a goal for a scene;
- Set a scene;
- Research something — I keep a list of topics I want to research;
- Read a scene, and make notes;
- Write 100 words of the scene you’re working on.
