Note: This
article is about motivating oneself for writing. There are 20 tips, most of
which I’ve seen before. Here are two that I find interesting and unusual:
#11: “Write about writing. Because there are
so many possible obstacles to writing, when one presents itself it can be
efficient and enlightening to explore what’s holding you back by writing down
your thoughts. Do you have reservations about what you’ve written so far? Are
you worried that the finished product won’t succeed? Are you distracted by other
obligations? A written investigation can help identify the reasons for trouble.
It also provides a good medium in which to work out a solution.”
#16: “Skip Ahead. If you’re having trouble
with the section of your project you’re currently writing, try skipping ahead
to something you can write immediately. You’ll make progress, even if out of
order, or may even stumble on a solution to your earlier writing problem.”
