7 Habits That Will Help You Finish Your Book This Year


WORKSHOP REPLAY:

7 Habits That Will Help You Finish Your Book This Year


(From the webinar at www.jerryjenkins.com - the coauthor or the Left Behind series)

1. Keep the deadline sacred. Count how many days / how much to be written daily or weekly.
2. Establish a rigid routine. This does not include checking social media. Look up the Freedom app that blocks social media. Treat your writing as a job.
3. Celebrate small wins.
4. If totally stuck, prime the pump. Think READER FIRST and see if you are not motivated.
5. Make yourself accountable. Report to someone who will hold your feet to the fire.
6. Join a writers’ group – about community and support. (I suggest Write On at Amazon which is open to the public for both readers and writers)
7. Find the right mentor – someone who has been there, treats your writing with honesty, and gives constructive criticism.
