Tipsy Tuesday

Whenever I start a new project, I pull out my calendar and make a schedule--one that includes a weekly word count goal. I set aside specific blocks of time each day to write. I don't always stick to it, but I do my best to. Sometimes life interferes, sometimes I'm just lazy and don't want to do the work. But most of the time I keep my eye on the prize, which is the ability to support myself with my writing one day.

So this is my tip to you. If you, like me, want to have a full-time career as a writer, you need to establish a schedule now and keep with it. As best you can.
