Bonus Points

Just W.R.I.T.E

Without self editing.

Rewriting not allowed

Idea to paper

Train those chapters

Exercise Daily

 

Editing and rewriting are closing duties.

 

You will never get a paragraph on paper if you do not let the thoughts flow untamed.

 

Simply, get the idea to paper before you perfect something that doesn’t even exist yet. As you become more seasoned, then you can edit and rewrite by the page or chapter, if you desire.

 

Train those chapters, and if you write fiction: train those characters. Get what you want to say in shape; prewriting and outlining can be hugely helpful here.

 

Exercise daily means write something everyday. If your stuck read something, find some prompts and write outside your genre or work on another project.
