July is going to be all about being prolific. More writing, more blogging, more creativity! Less procrastinating, less dawdling, less time spent on Facebook.
I set a goal to finish a new original pilot script by the end of August, so July is the time for formulating and outlining. Then there are all the short stories I want to finish, short film scripts I want to write, and that dang graphic novel that keeps bumping around my head.
I met a writer friend of a writer friend last night, who writes eight hours a day, seven days a week. My friend called him prolific. I love that word.
I don't know if I could write eight hours a day, seven days a week, but if I could just write a few more hours a day than I do now, I would have a lot more material to show for it. And feel a lot less stressed, because having written feels so much better than writing.
So that's my goal for the month - be prolific. We'll see how it goes!
be prolific! and eat pie!
ReplyDeletePie! Yes! :)
DeleteI am most productive when I spend a lot of time staring at my easels, whether it be a work in progress or a blank canvas. For me that time is as important as the actual time spent with a brush in hand. It's all about the head space. So...Do it! Stare, muse, scribble, type. Be prolific.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy! I think the equivalent phrase for writers is, "Ass in the chair." That's what I'm doing this month! :)
