Holidays Are Good Writing Days

November 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Today, a lot of us are off work. A day off can be a good time for catching up on housework, relaxing, or catching a movie. Or it can be a day that you sample the life of a full-time writer, putting in a much longer writing shift than is possible on a day that you work.

In addition to making a huge dent in your word count goals, you can learn a lot about yourself.

  • Do you get bored holed up in your writing area all day?
  • Does your family intrude during your writing hours?
  • Do you work better before or after you shower and get dressed?
  • Is your writing space comfortable enough to put in a full day’s shift?
  • Will you need to work on your motivation and discipline to be able to make the transition to full-time writer?

Working at home can be a huge challenmge, even when you are doing work that you love. Trial runs on holidays will help you develop the skills you need to be successful when the time is right for you to move into that lifestyle.
