Methods to help you write

Let me know which method works for you!

I CHALLENGE You to try each method each day this week.

Method 1:

take 4- 6 10min breaks throughout the day.

*I feel that this one is the easiest. I write 5 min during each of my two 15min breaks at work a 10 min during my lunch. the rest after i get home or before work

Method 2:

You can either write your word count after each step of check it off that you completed.

write for 20 min: Write 421 words: Write to the nearest thousand: write for 15 min: Write 200 words: write for 5 min: Write 285 words: write for 30 min: Roll a die, multiply your roll by 220: Write 500 words: write for 10 min: Write to the nearest thousand: Write 100 words:

*This one is a little harder but You must strive to complete as many as possible!

Method 3:

Roll dice, multiply number by the last two digits of your current word count

Write for 15min

Write 150 words

Roll dice and multiply that number by 120

Write to the nearest thousand

Write for 5 min

Write 352 words

Method 4:

Write 100 words then add/write 20 words

Write 200 words then add/write 10 words

Write 150 words then add/write 50 words

Write 122 words then add/write 25 words

Write 220 words then add/write 63 words

*each step does not have to be consecutive

Method 5:

Write a scene that makes your character sad, put aside

Write a scene that shows that your character has a good/bad side

Write a scene that shows the character finding something they lost

Write a scene between the Main character and the secondary character

Write a scene from your story

that makes YOU angry.

This is the calendar I made to keep track of me writing. Its my personal "Did you write today?" reminder.
