Write Every Day


Figure out what schedule works for you. For example, I can write short forms (essays and short stories) in one hour segments, but I'm a binge writer when working on a long form (novel, self-help, etc.).

Edit After a Pause

Let your draft sit for at least a week. After that pause, go back and review and revise. You will find that the space gives you a different, more objective perspective on your writing.
