Developing a Daily Writing Habit: Strategies for Setting Aside Dedicated Writing Time
In today’s fast-paced world, finding time to write can feel like a daunting task. Yet, whether you’re working on a novel, keeping a journal, or crafting blog posts, establishing a daily writing routine is a powerful way to boost creativity, hone your skills, and even reduce stress. Here, I’ve compiled a list of practical tips and strategies found online to help you create a writing habit that works—even on your busiest days.
My Writing Goals and How I Plan to Reach Them
Writing a novel is a marathon, not a sprint—but having clear goals keeps me on track. As I dive deeper into my book, I want to set realistic targets to stay accountable and make steady progress. I struggle with ADHD and anxiety (plus a generous helping of depression on the side), so I know I need concrete objectives to keep myself on course while being mindful of my mental health. Writing is inherently challenging, and if I set overly ambitious goals, I risk triggering anxiety and spiraling. On the other hand, if my goals are too lax, I may never finish. In this post, I’ll share my word count targets, writing strategies, and how I plan to stay consistent.
