For this week's post I am sharing my list of how to stay motivated as a writer.
1. Write Every Day
This is important. Each writer should try to write every day.
I know everyone has busy lives and not everyone’s schedule is the same, but as long as you take time to write; whether it is 10 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, etc. always make time to work on your craft.
2. Be Creative
Within each writer there is a story waiting to come out. When one writes characters form and plots are developed which lead to bringing stories to life to which can be shared with other readers. It is always great when as a writer you bring about your creativity and the passion for your writing and work come out.
3. Rewrite your Work
After you craft your first draft then you can work on the rewriting. Then the revising process will take you on the journey of bringing your story to life. I know the process can be tedious at times but once it comes together it will all be worth it. This also includes reading it aloud. It does not hurt to say it aloud to someone else to hear the story and see if there are any inconsistencies.
4. Never give up
In writing the key is never give up and always keep writing. I know at times we get overwhelmed. But they key is to always keep pushing yourself. Each day is filled with distractions or busy schedules but the key is to is to always keep pushing through it.
