Why wait for New Years to make a To-do List?<\/p>\n
Writers should have a daily – if not weekly or monthly – to-do list to keep their writing on track and to help promote themselves on their website and social media.<\/p>\n
I’ve shown just a snippet of my Writer To-Do List. My list is much longer than the five items pictured since I juggle more than one writing project at a time, and they are in various stages of completion.<\/p>\n
How long is your Writer To-Do List?<\/p>\n
Do you remember to include an item or two to market yourself on your website and social media?<\/p>\n
If not, add a reminder, prompting you to make consistent posts to keep your “name” and “what you do” out there on the worldwide web.<\/p>\n
Do you have a reminder prompting you to edit pages you previously wrote?<\/p>\n
Your need one.<\/p>\n
Editing and rereading scenes or pages you previously wrote before you begin writing a new scene or page will help you avoid writers block. It also helps get your creative juices flowing because rereading your previous scene pulls you back in your story.<\/p>\n
Is your To-Do List too long? Does it intimidate you?<\/p>\n
Then make your list smaller. Keep it as simple as you’d like.<\/p>\n
As long as your prompts you to write and to promote yourself – it’s perfect!<\/p>\n
Let’s check off those items and boxes!<\/p>\n
I’ll do mine. You do yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
