One of the challenges facing many of the writers I work with is the mismatch between the motivation to write and the reality of the writing actually being done!
There are many “reasons” for writers not writing as much as they would ideally like to and unwittingly becoming master procrastinators. Usually these include not having enough time, not being clear about how to start or what to write next, not feeling inspired on a particular day to write on your chosen topic … the list goes on.
To address this situation, your Writer’s Journey Tip of the Week is to have more than one writing project on the go at any one time and include different types of writing to maintain your creative flow.
As a result, if you are temporarily lacking ideas and inspiration for your main project (your book) you can choose another project to work on (a blog post or short story) which might feel more “do-able”.
