    About this ebook

    • Too busy to finish writing your book
    • Wish you could just write (and give up the day job)?
    • Are you a freelance writer who struggles to increase your word count?
    • Are you full of ideas but never see them through because you don't make time to write?

     

    Don't worry. You're not alone. 

     

    All kinds of writers and creative people often need help to manage their time better – fact. And it's not about quick-fix solutions or daily writing prompts or freewriting before you can even start to write.

     

    Being more productive as a writer means learning how to build additional writing time into your daily routine, deciding on your priorities, learning to say 'no,' and creating good writing habits.  

     

    That's why I've created this simple, concise book of time-grabbing tips to help you write more in less time, get more creative, manage your writing schedule better, and grab every opportunity to write (without giving up your life).

     

    Finding time to write a book, a blog, a report, a dissertation, a thesis, a novel, or a new chapter is not easy.

    Finding time to write as a mother… or father… or when you have a full-time job is tricky too.

     

    But the secret to becoming a prolific writer isn't about giving up your job, your social life, or precious family time. Rather, it's about making time to write. Even the smallest pockets of time set aside for writing can bring the results you dream about.

     

    This short and sweet book of tried-and-tested tips is designed to help fiction and non-fiction writers who want to:

    -         find more time to write – despite having a busy schedule

    -         discover how to tackle distractions that hinder their writing output

    -         create a conducive environment for writing

    -         learn when is best to write

    -         how to create a realistic writing routine around their day job

    -         improve their writing productivity

    -         stop making excuses and just write!

     

    So what's it to be?

    Brand new start?

    Or same old excuses?
