4 lessons I've learned writing for my supper

[Thread]

1 DON'T THINK, WRITE

I write professionally. 8-5 each day I am writing content for clients.

There isn't time to ponder every word

Sometimes your deadlines are impossible.

Sometimes, you find out what you think by writing it.

2 PROCRASTINATION WILL KILL YOU

I also write fiction and have done so for over 10 years.

There will NEVER be a perfect day for writing.

Sometimes, you must force yourself to do it.

Sometimes it's easy. Often it's not.

But you MUST force yourself if you want to make progress.

3 KEEP NOTES

Done properly note taking IS writing.

Not sure how to structure a blog?

No ideas for the next scene?

Write a note. Write a detailed note.

Underline your best ideas. Draw arrows, lists. Doodles.

The point is to keep your mind working even when the writing isn't.

4 HAVE FUN
Writing is hard.

Many writers adopt a workman like approach to it.

Show up, write for an hour, or 1k words, each day.

This is good advice, follow it.

But also...

Write one sentence a day that makes you smile.

If you do that. You've succeeded.

Now go write
