The time can be spent outlining characters, plots, scenes, etc. or it can be spent using it for a writing marathon. The focus is to simply devote more time to your writing.

It’s often difficult to schedule a chunk of time each day for personal writing. We keep making plans to do it, keep telling ourselves to do it, but something always comes up. Setting aside a whole day just for personal writing projects works better because you can plan for it and make preparations. You can schedule other work for another time so you aren’t leaving any clients in limbo.

Make it a part of your weekly work schedule and I’m sure you’ll not only have a good time and feel good about finally spending time with your personal writing, you’ll also make progress.

Edited: July 2, 2010: We will start posting a weekly thread here at the Scribe for those who’d like to participate.

Hope to see you soon!
