The Easy Way to Write More

Wouldn't it be great if you could write more than you do now? What if you could sit down and find that you're far more productive and write more articles, book chapters, and stories in one sitting than you ever could before?

Is that even possible?

You bet it is, and it doesn't even have anything to do with writing faster.

If you want to write more, you need to want to do it.

Does that sound too simplistic? Well, it isn't.

You see, if there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that if you don't want to do something then you either won't do it, or you'll do it badly, or slowly. It's something all we humans inherently do. You'll know what I mean if you've ever watched a sulky teenager doing a household chore that they don't want to do. See the hilarious short video below: "How to avoid washing a car by Kevin the teenager - BBC"

It doesn't matter what it is, if we don't feel excited, motivated or we simply have no interest in doing something, we just won't do it.

And if 2020 taught us anything, it's that working from home is harder than going out to work because there's no boss, no set hours and far too many distractions. Being at home doesn't provide the motivation to sit down and start writing.

But the truth is that you can't wait for motivation before you start. Motivation won't show up for work until you do. I know, because I battle with this problem every day. 

The only way to defeat it is to have more bum in chair time and shut off all distractions. I have a computer that I use exclusively for writing so that I don't have all the usual online distractions to deal with. I have nothing on it but my writing files, and when I have to go online, I switch to my other computer and transfer my files on a flash drive.

You can't find motivation but it can find you.

And it always finds you when you're already working.

50,000 Words A Month. A Life-Changing Amount of Writing

 Every November, writers all over the world take part in NaNoWriMo, which stands for National Novel Writing Month.

NaNoWriMo is all about writing a 50,000-word, first draft manuscript for a novel, and doing it in a month.

This challenge came about because most people never write that much in a month. In fact, most people never write nearly that much, which is why it's a challenge.

But it got me thinking. What if all writers aimed to write 50,000 words every month? Not just novel writing, but a compilation of all their writing - stories, articles, tips, letters, ebooks, blog posts, plus everything else that's written and published or submitted in a month?

Can you imagine how much that would change your life if you did it? Even if you missed the 50,000-word mark, what if you wrote 30,000 words every month?

Wouldn't that be amazing?

This is what my Monthly Challenge Writing Series ebooks are all about.

The latest one, 'Fast & Profitable Article Writing' is currently available for the introductory price of only 99 cents.

And that small investment will guide you through writing more articles in a month than you ever thought possible.

Are you up for the challenge or are you happy where you are and have no interest in doing and achieving more?

Don't wait for November.

Download your own copy, start writing now, and commit to seeing it through for the next 30 days.

Writing Challenge: Write 50K Words in a Month

 It's now October and the next month is November, or as we writers know it, NaNoWriMo.

Every year NaNoWriMo is held throughout the whole month of November.

National Novel Writing Month has grown from a small group of writers taking part in a yearly novel-writing challenge, to worldwide writing phenomena.

As you probably already know, NaNoWriMo is a challenge to begin writing a 50,000-word (or more) first draft manuscript for a novel starting at midnight on November 1st, and finish and upload it by midnight on November 30th.

I've done this challenge myself, and although it's not impossible to do, it is a lot of work and keeps me on track and writing much more than I usually do every month.

But what if you wanted to take part in NaNoWriMo but you didn't want to write a novel? What if, instead, you challenged yourself to write 50,000 words from all your writing in November - ebooks, articles, freelance submissions, blog posts, etc?

That means writing 1,667 words a day for 30 days. Can you do that?

Or how about you download my latest Monthly Challenge Writing Series ebook while it's still at its introductory price of only 99 cents?

It's called 'Fast & Profitable Article Writing and takes you through 30 days of writing articles and earning money.

And while you can't control exactly how much money you'll earn, you can control how much you write. 50,000 words in one month. And this ebook will get you started fast.

Do I Want to Protest Against Climate Change? Nope.

These days there are millions of people jumping on the Climate Change (formerly known as Global Warming) bandwagon and protesting in droves.

I've never been to one of these protests, nor will I ever because I'm busy doing my part to help the planet already, and I've been doing it for years.

YEARS!

- I don't support factory farming (it's one of the biggest polluters and don't get me started on cruelty)

- I eat mostly organic (non-organic is also a huge polluter)

- I drive very little and have a small car

- I always find ways to cut my electricity use (for cost as well as environmental reasons)

- I live frugally

- I try to live by the 5Rs of a zero-waste lifestyle  (refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, rot)

- I only use environmental, sustainable household products

- I produce a low-to-no amount of garbage every day

- I recycle everything I can

- I refuse to buy overly packaged products

... and the list goes on.

I don't follow fads or jump on passing bandwagons. I live purposefully and kindly while I try to help the planet and animals. It's just something I've always done for as long as I can remember.  

It's actually really easy to be respectful of our planet and be kind and compassionate to animals. It also inspires others to do the same.

I'm also always busy writing, and in my book 'Mission Critical For Life' I lay out 10 easy-to-follow steps for finding and living your own life mission and you'll see how it can also help you to do your bit to help the planet at the same time, without having to drive to the nearest protest. But feel free to do so if that's what floats your boat.

Being Mission Critical For Life can help save you, your sanity, the planet, and everyone around you. 

While helping you live a stress-free, purposeful life on your own terms.
