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

6) Figure out your process
