There are those who say you need to write 2000 words a day . I get over them, but unfortunately many leave for my clients' jobs. Someone else says that 500 or 1000 are enough. It seems that there is no agreement and obviously there couldn't be. I've never organized a writing session or set a daily word count goal, but I'm going to start doing so. The advantages of daily writing sessions are more than obvious: we will see our novel progress day by day and its end get closer and closer. What matters most, in my opinion, is that we will see constant , continuous progression. Make writing a habit Discipline and determination in the writing profession Get used to writing every day. Even when we don't feel like it.
And the desire gives in, sometimes fades. There can be many reasons and often we don't even know them. Creative writing must become our daily habit , and it can only become so if the writer Special Data disciplines himself and determines himself. The great writers, the self-made ones, who believed in it from the first moment, started writing like professionals , even if they weren't yet. This is the primary meaning of the profession of a writer . Writing as if it were our job, the one that gives us our daily bread and also a little bit of food. Write as if it's the only thing we can do in the world. Eliminate perfectionism There is time to correct and revise I once had the habit of constantly typing and correcting typos .
Even though I have learned to write without looking at the keyboard for years (okay, every now and then I glance at it), I sometimes mistype some words, and I didn't like seeing my page full of red marks under the words. Now I leave it alone, because I prefer not to lose the flow of thoughts and interrupt the thread of the discussion, but to continue typing until I have finished writing my article or my piece of fiction. Another mistake I made was revising my text before I even finished it . In a story or a novel it makes no sense, because the revision is done at the end. The risk is doing double work. Even for blog articles it is better not to start rereading and modifying what we don't like, because you only waste time. We leave the review until the work is finished. Overhauling and bug fixes are testing: you don't test an airplane during construction.
