Okay, okay! I’ll finally set a writing schedule and write down my goals. :P

By the way, if you want some easily accessible “professional development,” do a search for “writing (or writers) podcasts.”

Good luck!

This is great advice! And these seem to be pretty common problems for writers too. Maybe because we live in our own heads more than people in other professions. And the slacking off, procrastinating and isolating ourselves is likely because of fear of rejection or of hearing others’ opinions on our work. Thanks for putting these out there!

This post was really helpful. I have seriously neglected my writing aside from my blog lately, and I can’t remember the last time I finished anything or submitted anything. I now have 8 commandments that are getting taped to the fridge!

Thanks.

Wow.

I can totally relate about procrastinating and over-indulging in self-editing.

This is exactly what I need.
Thanks! :)

I started a series of posts called PLACES, which is dedicated to this very idea – writing in different places.

It does, right? I write my all my stuff from home — volunteer, freelance, etc… and I adore my time when my daughter is in school. But getting away and setting a time with no interruptions (outside of the house so you can’t be like, ‘oh, I can throw in a load of laundry..and then i can do this…blahblahblah’ is always so nice. You’re right, making sure you’re joined up with other writers is v. important. I did find this useful….along with your site. Love it!!!! I’ve already told people on Facebook and Twitter about it. =)
So glad you’re contributing here!!!

Eden,

Thanks–glad you found the post useful! I think setting and sticking to a schedule is the hardest thing to do, for sure. Especially if you have a day job or you’re a stay-at-home parent of young children. It really does affect everything else.

Ryan,
I replied to you last week, but my comment didn’t seem to show up (just in case you get two responses…)

I thought it was a great idea to “change your environment” as you say. I’d love to be able to take my laptop out with me and write in different places. Just might have to try that :)

Thanks
