Writing is tiring . We often lose concentration, even desire. Time passes and our book does not move forward. If I look back at the past years, I realize how much has passed, while my novel and my literary projects are still at a standstill. What is missing is a working method in writing , that method that allows the writer to enter the writing profession by right. Write to achieve concrete results. Increasing the productivity of our writing will get us those results. For sure, even if it won't be able to guarantee us a publication, it will make us finish our book. Step away from social media Eliminate time suckers It seems that mankind can no longer go even an hour without glancing at the notifications on their smartphone.
Even at the cinema, where you pay to sit and watch a movie, there is someone who activates the screen to check notifications. They call it fomo ( fear of missing out ) and it is a medial disease. The fear of being left out. Outside of what, it's not clear. Crazy, for sure. You can't write and be omnipresent on social media at the same time. In my opinion we have to make a choice: either creative writing or the pseudo-socialization of Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and company. Social media sucks Special Data time, sucks life, they take it along with all our literary dreams. They are a cage in which the individual locks himself in, happy to be possessed by a virtual place, a place that does not exist except in the form of intangible bites. If an author really wants to write a novel , finish it, see it published, then he needs to stay away from social media. Or at least limit its use, because up until now he has abused it.
Writing in areas without wi-fi can be a solution, if you turn off your smartphone. Write according to a plan Set an expiration date Sometimes I wonder how much longer I have left to live. I think it's a legitimate question for those who pass to the other side, beyond the age of carefreeness and increasingly into that of wisdom. When you are closer to the century than to your date of birth, you ask yourself that and many other questions. You do them all the time, especially when you see that the novel you dream of displayed in bookstores is still inside a computer, with just one chapter finished and another ten just sketched out. And so a deadline (read: I have to finish my damned novel no later than dd/mm/yyyy) comes to our aid. Define a work schedule , for example by chapters (finish the first chapter within this month) and stick to it.
