Writing Discipline

Sitting down and making yourself write is not always fun and even in the process of writing it still isn't always enjoyable. Writing is work, but with practice and patience it can develop into a rewarding experience that becomes less difficult. A good strategy is to write a certain number of pages a day or have a goal of a number of words each day. Whether these pages turn out great or not so great, the fact is that they were written and can always be improved.

Another goal can be to write a chapter or two a week and in several months a novel will be on its way to completion. There are countless ways of achieving writing goals and just like with writing, these strategies require creativity and then the discipline to see them through. It might even require switching strategies on a weekly or monthly basis. If this can be done, then your writing will get done.
