Whether you want to blog, write books or make money by copywriting, the question constantly arises of where to get strength and inspiration. Remember, inspiration doesn't exist. There is discipline and hard work. These tips will help make it less cumbersome.
Instructions
Step 1
Practice daily. This is the main tip for writers. We woke up, washed, had breakfast, sat down to write. Write everything that comes to mind: dreams, breakfast meals, than the recently bought coffee is better or worse than the previous one, why do you need to wash in the morning, what kind of weather is overboard. There are a great many options.
Step 2
Make it a rule to do a short, written summary of everything you read. An interesting article came across in the feed - great, write a review. Do you agree with the author? Emphasize this in your text. Do not agree? Justify the position. Are you reading a book? Review each chapter from which you have learned useful information. An aspiring writer should not shy away from one topic or another.
Step 3
Write where it is convenient. Do not force yourself to use new services and sites if you do not feel the need to do so. The authors of Lifehacker and similar media outlets are eager to give bad advice to writers and recommend numerous applications and sites for which they were paid to advertise. Do you like the good old diary or Notepad? Great, work with them. Remember, this is just a tool.
Step 4
Equip a comfortable workplace. You don't have to run to Ikea for shopping. It is enough to find a comfortable table that is suitable in height, provide the right lighting and remove foreign debris out of sight.
Step 5
Not sure where to start writing? Ask yourself the key questions: what, where, when, and why. Sketch out a short outline, then make a detailed outline out of it, review the keywords on the topic, and it will be easier for you to work on the material.
Step 6
Develop a reward system. Before you start writing, prepare your favorite drink, and when you're done, treat yourself to a pleasant trifle.
Step 7
Try to immediately capture an interesting thought or idea. Carry a paper notebook with you or take notes on your phone. The tool is not important, the result is important. No idea should be wasted.
Step 8
Find a way to measure your results. Consider the amount of writing, the money earned, the progress of the work on the book, the growth of subscribers on the blog - use the metric that suits you. Reward yourself for good results and analyze failures.
