Listicle on How to Stay Motivated As a Writer
Quote by Margaret Atwood

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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
