Hey, Carin,

Good for you! I love to push writers. In fact, I do it every weekday with The Morning Nudge – http://www.morningnudge.com – so check it out!

Happy writing!

Great article! Excellent practical tips for writers to help us organize our time, manage multiple responsibilities, and be productive without “stifling” the muse. I normally outline my books but wrote my most recent one straight from my stream-of-consciousness.

I loved how my voice came through, but as a result, I had to rewrite the book 4 times to hone the characterization and plot. For anyone who hates rewriting (I don’t mind revising but dumping 100’s of pages of the manuscript is like amputating a limb!) as much as I do, planning is the way to go and your tips were spot-on!

I have not been in the habit of planning my writing before I sit down to write, but now I think it really can make the process easier and help me maintain focus.

“Forget about everything else” is just one of those “be disciplined” and in-the-moment things that takes dedication and practice. Sometimes easier said than done, but a great reminder!

Lack of motivation is a form of Resistance. I recommend the book, Do the Work, to those who are having trouble completing a project. It’s a fantastic book that has helped me a lot and shows all the forms of Resistance and how to outsmart it. 🙂

I still have more to read but wanted to get this off today.
