1-2-3 Writing Blog: Let's Talk About Writing Appointments

Each blog contains 1 idea, 2 quotes, and 3 questions to ponder.

1 WRITING IDEA

Make a writing appointment and stick with it, just like you do for a movie ticket or a plane trip. If you wait for inspiration to strike, or for the muse to sprinkle pixie dust upon your fair head, you’ll write nothing. So if you’re a morning person, set the alarm for the butt crack of dawn. If you’re a late-night genius, get those creative juices flowing and howl at the moon. But for all that is good and noble, don’t wait around for the perfect time. It will never come.
