May 7, 2010, Newsletter Issue #281: Set a Word Minimum

Tip of the Week

Most writers will tell you that you need to write every day. But some days you stare at a blank paper forever. Set yourself a minimum word limit. You cannot get out of the chair until you have written 100 words, or 500 words or 1,000 words.

This may sound difficult, but remember, 100 words is only a fat paragraph; 500 words is about a page and a half of typing and 1,000 is only about three pages, or a third of a chapter. But by getting these limits written every day, you could have a novel written and rewritten in six months.
