Research has shown that waiting to feel like writing—for the right mood or the right inspiration to come along—doesn’t work. Instead, productive writers set aside time to write every day (at least 5 days a week), whether it’s for 15 minutes or 4 hours. Many writers can accomplish more in smaller blocks of time–even 2 hours a day—if they stick to that time and self-regulate to avoid distractions.
