Instant Writing

Some of you writers out there will be busy watching for those odd moments when you can bring out your pen and paper and jot down a few words, anywhere, anytime.

You'll be surprised at what you can produce in those few snatched moments. And the more such moments you can find during the day, the greater your word count. some of my friends have written more than 1000 (Yes, ONE THOUSAND words) in those few moments that would otherwise have been wasted.

I make only one condition - don't reflect or correct - just write. I call this technique Instant Writing.

While you're beginning to develop that writing habit, think about your favourite books. Try to pinpoint why you like them. Is it the writing? The characters? The storylines?

And make sure to log on to my blogger and record your experiences. Tell me about your 'spare' moments; how many words you wrote; any surprises your writing turned up. People sometimes tell me they end up writing stuff they didn't even know was floating around in their minds.

Can't wait to hear from you.
