IF you are having a
hard time getting into the writing groove this is for you!
Do you struggle
every time you plan on writing? You’re not alone!
You promise yourself that you will write every day … and then days go by ... NOTHING! Weeks go by ... NOTHING!
Whether it's your next chapter, a blog post, or even one little social media update,
just getting started can be a major road block.
I KNOW … I've been there. I was there
this morning. I have been writing for a
living for over 40 years. I know EVERY
trick there is to avoid writing.
I also know some tricks (and one little app) that helps me get started and
keep going.
Try these out and see what happens.
Sometimes all it
takes is a timer and a commitment to just five minutes. If five minutes is too much, try three minutes. Learn how small,
focused bursts can add up …yes to entire books.
What if you could
build momentum 100 words at a time? Discover the magic of micro-goals and how
they make writing feel like a breeze.

You
can experiment by using a word counter or a timer … but you can try a free (or
CHEAP) productivity tool that helps you focus like never
before.
