6 writing hints by Daniel Pink
Source
1) Show up every day
- even when you don’t want – this is where the best things happen
- momentum matters
- treat writing as a job
- consistency beats intensity
2) Give yourself a word count
- 500 words minimum, every day
- get that done and do neverything else
- his books are about 70k words
3) Move
-
activate your body to unlock your thoughts
- use the diffuse mode of thinking
- movement clears your mind
- thinking at 3 miles per hour
4) Hear your words
- reading lives in the ear
- it confronts with what is actually there
- to yourself, to a voice recorder
5) Writing is also social
- What promise am I making to the reader
- Their reading time is a huge responsibility
- While you are in the writing process talk to others
