My writing routine

Last month, my signature course, creating a writers routine, took place. I completely forgot to mention how MY writing routine looked like. I am not going in depth about the time and place, I am just going to show you what I do during my routine!

1. Writing in the morning I always begin my writings in the morning, with a fresh mind and new perspective. Writing in the morning help me overcome writing blocks and get the work done faster, compared to the evening, where I have to hustle to finish anything. 2. Researching If I have a project due, I like to research more about my topic before writing, so I spend a few minutes of my day making notes and gather as much information before starting my story. 3. Reading in the evening Since I have so much to do in the evening, I usually don't have much free time, but if I do, I read. Anything ranging from the classics to comedy fiction, I spend my evening catching up on books. 4. Self-creativity I like to do things other than writing to stay inspired, like taking walks, exercising and other way to stay inspired and prevent writers block. I always keep time for myself and for what I love, writing is my life, but sometimes its good to take a break. 5. Journaling Out of all my suggestions to struggling writers, journaling is the one that gets the most push-back. Not sure why other than I think people tend to misinterpret how a journal can be used. Journaling the highlights and getting the important points down means I won’t forget it later. Sometimes, journaling through writing prompts can get us in a fantastic writer’s mindset because we’re writing expectation-free. 6. Schedule I set out with a daily goal, determined to make this the time I finally get back on track with writing. The beginning might go really well. I'm motivated and determined to cross “‘write 1,000 words” off my to-do list every single day. And the reason I succeed is with a proper schedule, I create on to fit my needs and I try my best to stay consistent with it.
