Write The Book: Conversations on Craft
Arts:Books
Vermont Author J.P. Choquette, whose latest is Let The Dead Rest.
This week's Write the Book Prompt was suggested by J.P. Choquette. It has helped her to use the "fifteen-minute method" of writing, rather than trying to squeeze her productive time into the "fringe hours of the day." Set a timer for 15 minutes, and write until the alarm rings. You'll get work done, and you'll feel a real sense of accomplishment.
I'll just add that a variation of this exercise, "The Pomodoro Technique," splits work into short segments, separated by breaks. I've had a lot of success with this approach, as well.
Good luck with your work in the coming week, and please listen next week for another prompt or suggestion.
