Nine things every writer needs to do every day

I take no credit for writing any of this.

This was written by Scott Ginsberg

I came across this when I was browsing around, thought it was an interesting read and something all writers should have a read of.

9 Things Every Writer Needs To Do Every Day
by Scott Ginsberg

1. Morning pages. Sets the creative stage for your entire day.

2. Making lots of lists. The ultimate (scientific) practice for organizing your ideas.

3. Reading for at least 15 minutes. Because writers are readers. Period.

4. Writing down ideas, scraps, quotes, one-liners and other notes. Because if you don’t write it down, it never happened.

5. Journaling in some way, shape or form. You MUST capture your thoughts.

6. Have a daily appointment with yourself. It’s the most important appointment you’ll have all day!

7. Create some form of art, first thing in the morning. Doesn’t have to be good, it just has to get done.

8. Exercise. It’s called “Solvitas Perambulatorum,” and scientifically, it WILL increase your creative output.

9. Interact. With other creative people, that is. Whether it’s on the phone, online or in person, creative people need to be around other creative people. They’re the only other people who will understand what you’re going through.
