Here\u2019s to everyone,\nwho is feeling anxious, sad or even depressed that nothing good comes out of a\nnew text, story or even a blog post. To everyone, who struggles to write a few\nlines till late after midnight and rewrites them anew the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Good news is that you\nare not alone and almost every author is not satisfied with results of his own\nworks. For the past few years, we have read tens of books on motivation and\nwriting, and are ready to share the best tips on how to write much faster, <\/strong>generating outstanding ideas and\nstaying motivated and happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is time to please\nyour inner critic, who constantly tells that you are too slow, too clumsy and\nlack talent. It takes time to become a good writer but it is quite simple to\nspeed up, create proper habits and improve your skills much faster! Let us introduce\nyou to 13 outstanding tips that help you day by day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are always waiting\nfor perfect circumstances to start writing: great mood, excellent health, and\nenough free time. However, this usually\nends up with writing in the middle of the night, trying to meet the deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Surprisingly it was\nfound out that drafts come up much better early in the morning, when your inner\ncritic is still asleep. This finding is backed up with a variety of researches.\nThey claim that we are more productive and creative, when we are half-asleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are a night\nowl, you can start writing early in the morning. If you are more of an early\nbird, you can try and write late in the evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another advice comes\nfrom experienced writers: \u2018write when drunk, edit when sober\u2019. When we drink\nsome alcohol, our brain unlocks path to creativity and prefers thinking outside\nthe box. However, it is a slippery road that not everyone should choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you write content and feel motivated you may think that setting a timer is useless. However, seeing that the time goes by helps to fight procrastination. You notice that you are wasting your time on side distractions and try to get back on track instead of scrolling Instagram feed or answering text messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most\nefficient techniques we have ever found is called The Pomodoro. You need to\ndevote 25 minutes to writing and then can have a 5 minute break. It helps you\nto remain focused, generate great results and still have enough energy to write\nmore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of us still\nchoose the traditional path: creating fixed deadlines. However, setting a timer\nis more effective and you can work on the text well in advance, without a need\nto write in a hurry because the deadline is approaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the help of a timer,\nwriting becomes simpler, quicker and you get more satisfaction out of the\nprocess!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every day we tell ourselves something like \u2018I need to write\u2019 or \u2018I must write more often\u2019. However, such phrases only cause anxiety and make us feel guilty. The best way to fight such emotions is to actually choose writing! Say \u2018I choose writing\u2019 instead of \u2018I should start writing\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately,\nprocrastinators and perfectionists tend to lead self-destructive inner\ndialogues that eventually lead to lack of motivation and even depression.\nLearning how to make self-talking more positive helps to gain control over the\nsituation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We take responsibility\nfor our actions and act like grown-ups. Every time you need to do something\njust say \u2018I choose…\u2019 instead of \u2018I\nneed\u2026\u2019 and you\u2019ll see how simpler your life will become!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you often find\nyourself wondering where has your day gone? Unfortunately, at the end of the\nday we often feel sad or stressed that we haven\u2019t sent an important email or\ndidn\u2019t start writing a new blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest mistake\nhere is to think that we lack power of will or choose wrong goals. Luckily,\nthere is an approach that will simplify everything: plan all of your steps\nbeforehand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You may read hundreds of articles on healthy nutrition but understanding all of its benefits won\u2019t help you to stop eating junk food! You need to create a meal plan and stick to it. The same applies to writing: if you want to do it, just schedule the process in your daily planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Researches show that only 30% of people went to the gym without a plan compared to 90%, who scheduled exercises in their planners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is why all you\nneed to do is to add writing to your schedule for the next day or week. Decide\nwhat text you will work on, how much time you will devote to it and when you\nwill get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another benefit of\nsuch approach is that you switch your brain into the writing mode even without\nrealizing it, so writing the next day becomes much simpler and results in a\nbetter speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Writing may seem\nreally challenging, when you think of the book as of a single task. However,\nyou don\u2019t need to write it during one session. \nBreak the text into several sections. For example, a story has a title,\nan introduction, chapters and conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then dive even deeper\nand break the elements into generating an idea, conducting a research, writing\nan outline, creating a first draft, editing \nand revising. When every stage is quite small, it will be much easier to\nwrite it without delays and stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are not in a\nhurry you can break up the text not only into several tasks but also into\ndifferent time periods. For example, adding more days to your plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazing but when you\nare not writing, your mind continues to think about the text. Just let your\nbrain wander and you will see how new ideas are generated. Prolonging the deadline will help you to\nbecome more relaxed and creative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone sometimes\nloves procrastinating and make excuses why the timing wasn\u2019t right for writing.\nHowever, If you decide to create daily rituals everything may be changed. They\nhelp with improving confidence and motivation, and you immediately see how your\nwriting advances!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some\nof regular rituals:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As you see, these rituals\nare very simple but that\u2019s the whole point: complicated rituals are more\ndifficult to follow and you may eventually lose interest in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let us depict a situation that has surely happened to all of us: you are in a good writing mood; you write more and more, and it seems that nothing can stop you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then you notice that\nyou miss a certain detail or information. You open your notes or a book to look\nfor a right quote. Then you find yourself reading and when you are trying to\nget back to writing, nothing comes up. The thought and the mood are lost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n To avoid such rabbit\nholes you simply need to write \u2018TK\u2019 (to come) next time when you need a piece of\ndata. Continue working on the draft and add the required information later.\nThis will surely boost your writing speed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Building bridges is\ndefinitely one of our favorite tips, when it comes to creativity. It is used by people in a variety of\noccupations and it works equally good for all of them. The main idea of such\napproach is to create connection with the day to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if you are a dance teacher, it is better to stop the lesson before everyone\u2019s tired to death. In such a way they will have enough energy for the next day. If you are a writer, you can stop the story, when the plot is clear and tomorrow you won\u2019t have to wonder what you wanted to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the bridges\nthat we find very useful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To write good content and to acquire solid writing habits, you need to finish every project and text. When you feel tempted to drop the task and switch to another topic, you should ask yourself what made the subject interesting and why you wanted to discuss it in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try to find that\nexcitement again and then look for the things that make your draft worth\nwriting further. Find additional ways of finishing it even if you can\u2019t see the\nlight at the end of the tunnel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It may sound weird but\nin order to speed up you need to slow down a bit! Examples show that if you\ndon\u2019t show the results you want to achieve, you need to slow the process and\ntake enough time to restore your energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next time, when you\nfeel lost or tired, apply the 90% rule: don\u2019t work on the maximum speed and do\njust enough to reach 90% of the goals you have set. This will also help you to\nfight your inner critic and to beat perfectionism, which is one of the biggest\nenemies of any writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to create a habit of regular writing and to write the next day without any delays, it is better to set a very simple goal that you will follow with ease. It can be writing 100 words per day or spending just 15 minutes on your manuscript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This goal is so simple\nthat you can do it even if you have a bad day, are busy or feel lack of energy.\nStart writing with just 20 minutes every day and devote minimum 1 hour not\ndepending whether it is a workday or a weekend. The whole point is to exercise\nregularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to start\nwriting immediately, here is what you can do right now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now put all the\nworries and doubts aside and start writing your story!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here\u2019s to everyone, who is feeling anxious, sad or even depressed that nothing good comes out of a…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/termpaperforyou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/termpaperforyou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/termpaperforyou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termpaperforyou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termpaperforyou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/termpaperforyou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":93,"href":"https:\/\/termpaperforyou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions\/93"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termpaperforyou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/termpaperforyou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termpaperforyou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termpaperforyou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}#1.
