Quick Writing Tip #4: Use Your Calender

Posted on | June 24, 2010 | No Comments

I found myself overbooked this week. This is because I’m a moron and didn’t use my calender. When you start writing you’re adding an extra part time job to your life (if you’re doing this seriously) and it is very easy to overload yourself with responsibilities.

Set reminders on devices that go ding! when there’s stuff*.

This goes double if you have kids. Your kids will not be understanding if you are late to pick them up from school because you got stuck into writing your protagonist’s seduction of the love interest.

* I sort of half stole this from Dr Who. I hope Matt Smith will forgive me.
