@mkanokova
Be as busy as hell and make writing your retreat, not another of your many duties. // The argument that you have too much to do doesn’t count. Make writing just one of many things you do; the chance is much higher that you’ll succeed at finding the time.
01
@mkanokova
Find the ultimate surroundings where you find the clue to your inner self. // Your spot might be in a public space, in your own home or at the office after everyone leaves. Just make sure to be able to return to this very same spot every day.
02
@mkanokova
Find a fixed time-frame for writing. Try not to schedule appointments during that time. // Don’t feel guilty for not writing outside of your fixed novel writing time. It will make it much easier for you to have a normal life.
03
@mkanokova
Try to focus on things that are not related to writing during business hours. // If you are someone who earns their money through writing, try to do all the other dull things you’ve accumulated on your to-do list this month. Dealing with Excel sheets will make writing an even greater retreat.
04
@mkanokova
Get it out and get it on the paper. Don’t try to correct any mistakes. // You can only edit something you have written (that means that you can only edit your novel when you have actually written a novel) Don’t discourage yourself by editing before you’ve written “The End”.
