The slumbering beast stirs

Leave yours...

Excellent! I was beginning to have withdrawals.

Consistent writing is the only way to gain that much-needed momentum. Us writers also tend to be brilliant procrastinators.

I believe Dan Kennedy said the same thing. He would block out a specific time every single day and spend that time writing, whether it was a book, article, newsletter, etc.

Looking forward to the book!

I didn't realize that you haven't reviewed "Millionaire..." yet. I would have thought you had done that a long time ago. It was that book that actually got me really thinking about personal finance and the decisions I make everday, which eventually led me to read your blog!

I'm interested to see if you have a unique insight into the book that the other reviews don't have.

Most professional writers use that trick...writing every day. Novel writers usually even have a minimum 500 words. Doesn't matter if its good, bad, or otherwise, merely writing is the key.

That was actually a pretty interesting interview, I wasn't expecting to make it through all 20-someodd minutes.

I've heard the same piece of advice about writing - just keep doing it and after awhile it'll become easier.

One of my favorite columnists compiled some great writing quotes. http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=52&aid=115841

Re: One secret to writing

I believe that W.Somerset Maugham and also Hemingway used that same idea, write everyday.

It is that same way with any major job, wheather it's spring cleaning, building a project, reading the Bible, or employment: steadily plugging away at it for a certain amount of time on a daily basis will eventually get the desired results. No procrastination!

as simple as it sounds I think that could be true..."just write everyday no matter what"
