Focus on the Fun in Creating Stories

“ If writing has become a chore for you lately, go back to when you started.”LetYourBookFlow.com – Monica Leonelle’s Free Daily Inspiration to Help You Write Beautiful Prose, More Consistently.  

Once you start writing for money, whether you still have a day job and writing is a side hustle or writing is your full-time gig, it’s easy to forget to have fun. Writing can become a job in our minds, another chore that we have to do today. And before you know it, you’re procrastinating — deciding you need to clean every inch of your house first or hopping on Facebook instead.

“ If writing has become a chore for you lately, go back to when you started.”

You should always work from a place of inspiration, but if you’re not inspired, go GET inspired. You hold all the power.

Day 8 -- Ending 8x8, Beginning a New Habit

Day 8 of the 8x8 Challenge

When you are done with your 8-minute writing session today, take an extra few minutes to evaluate what you’ve accomplished on your writing goals this week. How many words did you get? How many wacky places did you write? How can you keep up the 8-minute writing habit going forward?

Reflect on this and let me know your answers. You can post publicly on any social media site and tag Monica Leonelle so I can see it and congratulate you on a job well done.

Day 7 -- 7 in the Bank!

Day 7 of the 8x8 Challenge

You now have at least seven 8-minute sessions in the bank—hooray! I want you to write down those word count totals and figure out the average number of words you’re getting per session. This doesn’t have to be 100% accurate, we just need a ballpark figure.

Now, I want you to figure out how many 8-minute writing sessions it will take you to finish the first draft of your current project.

Day 6 -- Post Away!

Day 6 of the 8x8 Challenge

Day 6 -- Accountability is incredibly important for establishing any type of habit. You can’t be accountable to people if you are hiding behind your screen, not telling anyone how awesome you are, can you?

So go ahead and post using the hashtag #8minutewritinghabit so everyone in the challenge can see that you’re getting those sessions done.

Day 5 -- "We’re Upping our Game!"

Day 5 of the 8x8 Challenge

Today’s challenge is twofold: First, do your 8-minute writing habit with your morning routine today. Make a note of where it fits in—before shower, after shower, before kids wake up, etc. This will come in handy when the challenge is over. 

Next, I want you to spend the rest of the day finding little pockets of time in which you can add a bit more to the word counts you already got this morning. It doesn’t have to be much, just a sentence or two during your downtime. You can even count any of your mobile check-ins from the scavenger hunt toward this goal!

I write this to explain why I’ll be holding back my album, 1989, from the new streaming service, Apple Music. I feel this deserves an explanation because Apple has been and will continue to be one of my best partners in selling music and creating ways for me to connect with my fans. I respect the...
