Chiselling away at writing bests burst sessions over a long time. You'd be amazed at what a little bit per day will do vs doing burst sessions and taking breathers in-between. This is your classic tortoise versus the hare scenario. As great as it is to have massive...
The Dark Side of Contracting
Being independently employed has many benefits. For one, you get to set your own hours, which is incredibly handy if you are passionate about writing or any other art. There are pits found on the dark side of contracting, though. If you're not careful, you'll fall...
Keeping Momentum While Writing
Keeping momentum while writing is key to writing. It’s basically the “running a marathon” concept that we are familiar with as writers. It’s easier said than done, like most things when talked about. Little bits of consistency goes a long way, and before you know it,...
