9 Writers Share How to Squash Procrastination and Get Busy Writing
Q: I need a kick in the rear when it comes to writing. How can I get focused and stay disciplined to get reach my writing goals?
A: I wish a magic remedy to make procrastination fade into oblivion existed, but there isn't. What I do know is that every writer needs to find what works for them. For me personally, it's having a schedule (I love Google Calendar.) and a routine (I work full-time hours.), then sticking to them.
A cup of hot tea, invigorating music and interesting assignments help too.
