To build momentum, we need regularity,
     deadlines and accountability.

​

Regularity

Part of what helps us grow as writers is the regular practice of writing... 
when we sustain work on a single piece, exploring, expanding, revising, and then exploring some more. Ask yourself:

​

• What is a minimum useful time for a writing session? (e.g. 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour?)

• What is an achievable goal to begin with? (e.g. 30 minutes twice a week)

• What days of the week are best for you to write?

• What time of day is most fruitful for you to write?

• Can you put writing times on your calendar NOW?
   

Deadlines

What deadlines would be useful for you?
Weekly? Biweekly? Some other interval?
 

Accountability

How do you as a writer find a balance between the solitary and the social? Where do you find accountability so that they don’t give up?

•    Writers' groups
•    Buddy system (another writer)
•    Accountability person (e.g. a friend)
•    Writing coach
•    Classes
