If You Want To Write Every Day, You Need To Plan Ahead

As a writer, you need to be your own strategist

When I start writing, I like to plan my week so I can write every day. If you have a list of ideas to write about, this makes writing so much easier. Without a list, you’ll waste hours looking at a blank computer screen.

Do you have a list? If not, let’s get started. A list is your saving grace.

• Spend the time to create your list before you write
• Use your notebook, a note app on your phone, Evernote, or piece of paper for your list
• Just start writing topics that you want to write about
• Keep adding to your list
• You’re ready to pick a topic on your list to start writing.

It’s that easy.
