A Writers Life Made Easy: Seven Things You Need

Everyone loves to simplify their lives they love to find way s to make their lives run smoothly. Often we have day timers and other devices to plan meeting and schedule times, but sometimes, in fact a lot of the time, it seems that writing is hard to find time for. Writing for a living is easy… most of the time.

This is not good when one writes for a living. A writers life is never completely easy, but there is a way to make it easier. In fact for myself, I have seven way s to make my “writers life” easy.

1) Have a specific time to write: I can understand that time is everything, and that every person has some days where everything comes up and they simply can not write. This is not every day however. If you have committed to write, follow through that commitment. No, movies do not count as a “something coming up.” I’ve even learned to type while on the phone if the conversation does nothing but fill time for the other person

2) Have a specific place to write: Part of what makes routine is routine. Find a place to write and write there. It will make a writers life easier.

3) Simply write: When writing simply write, do not edit or write up marketing plans or work on other projects pick one, set a time and write. Just write.

4) Pick one place to write on each day: Now, of course some are more organized than others, but plan to write on one thing each day. For example: write an online articles, just online articles, and do that for one day, then work on a manuscript the next, this makes a writers life easy since they focus on one thing one day and then another the next.

5) Plan out the future: not too specific but plan where anything that you write goes to. Some writing is just that writing. Some writing is for a purpose, but not the ultimate purpose and some writing is the thing, the heart of why you write. Know that “heart.”

6) Talk to Others: Sometimes when writing does not seem to be going well, talk to others, tell them the problem, and tell them your views, often the solution will come and you will be able to write again, and with more success. Other people who care about your writing make a writers life easier.

7) Have Fun: Do not forget to have fun and when it is not simple just remember why you are writing in the first place. Laugh a lot. Write a bit.. and once you are done that treat yourself, there is always a good movie to go see.
