Writing was hobby for me for a long time. I dabbled when I had time, and I read every writing book that I could get my hands on. I did it for fun and without much thought as to what I would do with the end product once it was finished. I had no deadlines, and I could work on projects at my leisure.
When I decided I wanted to a published author, I realized that the process was a business and that I needed to treat it that way. That meant adding more organization, process, and structure.
Your Writing Schedule - I try to write or do something for my books every day. That could be plotting, editing, blogging, marketing, or growing my online following.
Life gets in the way sometimes. But you will see progress quickly if you set aside some time to work on your projects. When we moved to remote work during the plague, I did an experiment. I devoted my drive-time commute and my lunch hour to writing (almost 3 hours a day). I was amazed what I could accomplish in two years in three months. Figure out when you are most productive and write then if you can. I’m a morning person, so I love to get up before dawn when the world is quiet.
