About how I've managed to start writing so much lately · 11:51pm Jun 27th, 2021
So I decided I should make a blog post as to how I've managed to start writing so fast and consistently compared to how things were before.
The first thing I did was I started setting limited goals for my writing daily. Amazon says a page is about 250-300 words so I set 300 as the minimum and 600 as the maximum. That second one is actually the important part, you will WANT to write more, and you should not write more that day. The best way to keep writing is to find your best way to keep those fires burning in your head. For me what helps is to stop while I still want to write more and can still see where things are going for tomorrow, creating an unbroken chain of writing daily that has gone on for 13 weeks now.
The second thing I did was have a second story to write on to give me a break from this first story. That helps if I ever get stuck on one I can move over to the other which helps prevent burnout. That's the important thing here, prevent burnout that is the ultimate goal of what I'm trying to do.
The third thing I did was to sit down and figure out all the ways I break a writers block, and put them into a list. Stuff like "create a timeline" or "write down the three most likely ways this could go and try to explain them".
Looking back at it, that's actually it, that's all I've been doing differently from before. (Before was generally write once every couple of months until I burnt out so I could get a chapter out, stop looking at my writing entirely for a while, repeat)
So until next time, keep those fires burnin.
