Planning is part of my newest approach to my writing practice. I recently wrote about exploring my overall practice of writing. I asked how much writing is enough writing? In my analysis of my writing work ethic, it became clear that when it comes to guaging word count I could do more. I determined that I could easily put out at least another 1200 words a day, five days a week, of my fiction. This,
This is one of the ultimate questions about writing practices. And it varies from writer to writer. I’ve asked myself this before. Do I write enough? This is a VERY subjective question. Enough writing for me might be too much for you and not enough for someone else. I am currently reading Craig Martelle’s Become a Successful Indie Author: Work Toward Your Writing Dream.

But I never have addressed what I don’t write about. This can be applied to every genre that I work in. From fiction to non-fiction to business, there are things I do not or cannot write about. Some of this is choice. Other bits are due to
I can see what I want on the other side – but still haven’t figured out how to get through the invisible door. When I was asked if I wanted to contribute a short story about pirates and magic back in 2010, I was ecstatic. Finally, I was going to have a work of fiction published! Two years later, I got another short story published in the follow-up anthology. There it was, my name included
I have even more blogs for you to enjoy. Please visit my original blog website:
I post here twice weekly about my work with Positivity, Mindfulness, and Conscious Reality Creation. I’ve been blogging every week, without fail, since the beginning of 2012.
Mondays – Positivity (and related ideas for making choices and decisions in life).
Wednesdays – Pathwalking (my philosophy for consciously choosing how to live your life mindfully, on your terms).
