Since I was in elementary school I loved to think of story ideas and write them down. As I got older I fell in love with poetry. And finally I have just started to explore writing non-fiction. I love to write and would like to increase my writing, but having a full-time job as a teacher has made me mostly too exhausted to try anything else. The hope is that by creating this blog it will help me find motivation as well as increase my writing capacity. If you happen across this blog I would be so grateful for you to leave a comment or critique to help me improve and try harder.

If at all possible, make writing part of your daily routine, if only for a few minutes. At one point I allowed myself about 30 minutes a day, during lunch, to write. You might be surprised at how much you can produce with a consistent schedule. Good luck, and keep writing!

You’re very welcome. I’m sure you’ve heard that bit of advice before, but I truly believe that consistency, that repetition – practicing the physical and mental act of writing – leads to good results.

Well no one has actually told me that directly! I have heard of writers saying they do that. I used to write at least one poem a day, but when I started teaching I just got so bogged down in the work, it’s been a struggle to get back into it consistently so I know it’s a valuable piece of advice.

I would often write only 3 or 4 lines a day, but at the end of the week had something decent to work with. 🙂 And it became easier to pick up where I’d left off – less time was wasted.

Yea I think that’s more where I’m at now, trying to write like even one sentence everyday and then by the end of the week I can mold and reshape those words to make something I’m happy with out of them.

It was a good strategy for me. No pressure to finish, just write.
