|
Many writers work too hard to produce too little. Even the thought of writing can cause them stress. When you're stressed, it's harder to write...and so a vicious cycle begins. Stress can come from outside: a tight deadline, a boss who hates your writing, an overcrowded schedule. Then there's self-doubt and mistaken beliefs about writing...such as the idea that great writers get it right the first time. The first step in taking the stress out of writing is to understand that it's a process. Writing is less painful if you take some time to plan, write often for short periods of time, and give yourself permission to make a mess that you'll later clean up. Writers are also more productive if they balance four writing energies: creativity, organization, construction, and quality control. Write More, Stress Less introduces each energy and provides strategies for developing and balancing all four. The second half of the book includes a self-assessment of your writing energies, planning tools, journal prompts, and other tools to help you find productive writing strategies that work for you.
