This article, by Bellow Beth Cooper, si based on some reading she has done about writer routines and advice. She has compiled six of the most common in this post:
- The best ways to get over the “blank page hurdle”
- Discard clichés: How to stop writing like “you’re meant to write”
- Don’t make it sound like writing, instead “Write like you speak”
- Use short words, short sentences and short paragraphs.
- Over time, try to write less, not more
- Keep writing, even when it already hurts
Each of the six contains descriptions, explanations, graphics, and specific actions you can take to implement the tip.
Read the full post here. (There are a lot of good comments after the post, too.)
