Staying Motivated

The number one problem most writers share is commitment. We start billions of projects but never finish them. Months pass with no writing getting done.
Never fear, my young writer friend. There are things to help you stay motivated and keep writing. Here are a few ideas:
Schedule
Setting a writing schedule for yourself is a great way to stay motivated. Find a time to write every day, always at the same time. Consistency will make it easier to write. Find a time to write every day and keep to your schedule. For example, I write every night, whether that be for thirty minutes to three hours.

Surround yourself with writers
Get to know other writers. It's an extremely beneficial to talk to others who love your craft. Join writer groups on Facebook, find other writers in community. Bounce ideas off other writers, as well as get advice from others.

Call yourself a writer
You'd be surprised how few people see this as a necessity. But the moment you decide you are a writer, even if you haven't written a word, the easier it is to write.

Writing space
It's important to be consistent about where you write. You can work in a cafe or a library or a desk in your bedroom. Wherever you can focus comfortably.
