ADVICE

Overcoming Inertia

  • Start slow, like writing three sentences daily, to overcome inertia.
  • Gradually increase your writing goals, treating it like returning to the gym after a break.
ADVICE

Maintaining Momentum

  • To maintain momentum, don't stop writing at the end of a chapter.
  • Instead, write the first page of the next chapter to hit the ground running the next day.
ADVICE

Protecting Writing Time

  • Communicate the value of uninterrupted time to those around you.
  • Large blocks of uninterrupted time help avoid the mental math of subdividing time and losing motivation.
