It allows you to write about what matters to you, but also keeps you from shaming yourself when things don't go according to plan. I've found the writing process is never a straight line and definitely doesn't work like a 9-5 job. I have days when I know what I want to say and other days when I just need to stare out the window and figure it out. If I was busy chastising myself for not writing that day, I'd never go back to writing!Maria Williamshttp://www.mariawilliamseditor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-59973850706949044922017-01-31T18:36:42.582-05:002017-01-31T18:36:42.582-05:00This really struck a chord with me.

I have been writing off and on for years, but I work in a different industry. I recently started a blog, I'm one week into it and I'm proud of my articles, but I'm realizing that I know nothing about blogging and my topic is not narrow enough. To be honest, I really just want to write. Thank you for some good tips on how to stay focused and especially on letting my boredom be a barometer.

I have been at it all day and while I come across some great stuff, like your blog for instance, I can see where not limiting that time could be counterproductive. <br /><br />God has been calling me to write for a long time. I have been mainly writing for just myself, so now that I am stepping out in faith that God has a bigger plan for my writing, I need tips like yours.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768532616562432602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-79986663080020467992015-04-11T14:54:28.840-04:002015-04-11T14:54:28.840-04:00this was inspiring and helpfull post.this was inspiring and helpfull post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471154068287481829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-78779034932470766782014-08-20T06:32:46.694-04:002014-08-20T06:32:46.694-04:00Very helpful post for online writing tutors as wel...Very helpful post for <a href="http://support.acadsoc.com/10-tips-to-improve-your-english-writing-skills-6-230-630.html" rel="nofollow">online writing tutors</a> as well as writers.

Many thanks for turning the face of an affliction into an asset. Learning to listen to my inner restless self, I can usually know when I am bored, likely boring my reader, too. The dyslexia, and the hurry up and wait aspects of my attention span are harder for me to wrangle, but I am working on them.

I love wandering the internet in search of inspiration and I have started hundreds of great stories. But when I followup with the final research for the details and references I always discover a hundred new inspirations that send me off in a hundred new directions. The original momentum is lost and another unfinished project is shelved.<br /><br />Perhaps not every piece of writing has to become a book. And maybe I need to finish the writing BEFORE I look to the internet to confirm the technical details and references.<br /><br />Instead of writing in enormous bursts of energy until I am empty, I will now try to "chunk" it into smaller units and pace myself to sustain my passion for the current theme.<br /><br />ADD seems to explain so much of my past life path now that I think about it.<br /><br />Thank you for bringing it to my attention.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-30535590410832752092014-01-26T11:16:41.481-05:002014-01-26T11:16:41.481-05:00I have to admit that I have pretty bad ADHD.

It would be a disaster. Ditto the writing. I really have to shut out the world. Tough to do with the internet screaming for attention. I like to play Christian instrumental music (thank you Pandora) and close myself off from the rest of the house. Otherwise, there's always something to do. At least my writing distractions won't result in my mangled corpse along I-75. Thanks for the post, Edie.

When I'm bored or stuck, I know i'm on the wrong path. So I try something new and it usually works. It's been hiding behind a stubborn grasp on what I was doing. When I let that go, then I find a better path.
