Hi, Beverly! I am so glad to hear you enjoyed it. 🙂 Might you share the Twitter group? I’ve joined a Facebook group for writers where the goal is also to write 500 words a day. It’s been so motivating! Thank you for sharing your story. It’s very inspiring to me as I am working on my first novel right now. All the best with your third novel!

It is so hard to find a place that is distraction-free! There is a lovely quote by E. B. White about how he worked in his living room even though it was very busy and there were people constantly going in and out. He called it “a carnival”, but did not mind at all. Personally, I don’t know how he did it. 🙂

Hi Nicole, the trick for me is finding a spot where I can write comfortably, and set myself up with no distractions. Am giving this some thought.???? Have subscribed to your blog. Cynthia

That’s what helped me write my first novel last year. I joined an online Twitter writing group – 500 words a day – and that transformed the way I think. Some days those words were hard, but some days I’d pass 1000 and not notice. In less than half a year I had 82k and my book was finished. Using the same process I completed the sequel by the end of the year. That one was 94k. So yes, this system works!

Thanks so much, Nadia! 🙂 The photos are from a website called Pixabay. There is a link to it on my resources page. That makes me so happy to hear I have inspired you to think about your novel. I am looking forward to reading more of your writing!

Thank you so much for commenting and subscribing, Dolores! 🙂 I am so glad we connected on Instagram. That is wonderful that you are able to write 1,000 words daily. I’ve been writing consistently each day this month, and I’ve been noticing that my daily word count is slowly increasing so hopefully 1,000 words will become my new normal. 🙂 It is true, though, that sometimes it is good to take a day off to let your brain have time to think about all of the things you have been writing and to be able to come up with new ideas. Thanks again for your comment!

I love the idea of baby steps. Your photos are amazing too! Well done on inspiring me to at least think about getting back to my novel.

I am multiversodb from Instagram. This is a very thorough post. For me, it is difficult setting a precise number but I try my best to get to 1,000 words daily. There are days when I write more but this is my magic number. I agree with you that we have to hone our craft. There are days where I just meditate and listen to myself and there I find newborn ideas or concepts to continue writing. Again very good post. Great to connect with you in here as well. Just subscribed to your blog.

Hi, Cynthia! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. 🙂 Yes, it can be so difficult to squeeze in writing time when there are so many other important things vying for our attention. I am planning to write a post about finding time to write when our lives are so busy — there usually is always a little window of free time that we can use for writing time. 🙂 So glad to hear you found the post inspiring & I hope you will be able to find time to do a little writing for yourself. It is so very rewarding.
