Rising Early to Write
I’m finally going to do it. Really. For sure this time.
I’m going to start getting up an hour early in the mornings to write. And I’m going to keep you updated here on the blog (to help keep me on track).
I’ve been frustrated for a while at my writing time. I don’t get home until 5:30 or 6:00, and my writing is crammed in to my evenings with everything else I need and want to get done. I’m surprised that I get as much accomplished as I do some days.
So, I’m doing to give this a try for a month and see how it works out.
My rules…
- Spend the 1 hour WRITING, not reading, networking, e-mailing, etc.
- I can write blog entries, short stories, articles, or work on the novel
- No editing allowed, just writing
- I’ll track my word count progres
- I’ll update the blog frequently (every couple days or so) to let you know my progress
I’ve also set a goal to finish the novel I’m currently working on by the end of July. That’s a lot of work right there, so having an extra hour a day will come in handy.
Anyone care to join me?
