The holiday season is upon us pretty soon. That usually means that our writing will take a back seat to everything else going on. There will be so much vying for our attention most of which have nothing to do with writing.
To be successful and get some writing done during this season, we need to step back and make sure we set some firm but flexible writing goals for ourselves. This is essential for us to ensure that a whole two months don't go by without any of our writing goals completed.
So, how can we prepare for such times? Well, it is best to plan and to keep your writing goals small and manageable. Then you won't be frustrated.
But more than that, you have to create times when you are writing and can be on your own and unencumbered by all the hustle and bustle of the season for a while.
This holiday season will be like no other. We won't have the parties to attend, and we aren't supposed to visit people outside of our bubble, even if they are relatives. I sure hope that we can all follow the health protocols laid out for us to ensure that we stay safe and enjoy the holidays.
I believe that this year we have a rare opportunity to keep our holiday celebrations smaller and more meaningful. And we can also create some times to write because we aren't as busy and we aren't as encumbered by going shopping and visiting people.
So, what are your plans for the holiday season? Please take some time to really plan for this time so that you can enjoy yourself and create boundaries around your writing time so that you can actually get some writing done too.
There are six weeks before the end of the year. Please, please let's not waste all of this time and not do any writing. Instead, let's reach for our writing and enjoy this season.
You can do that by writing about writing themes. You can blog about the holidays, write out recipes on your blog for people to try, or submit Christmas Stories. Whatever you do, by all means, just write. Find something really interesting you can write about, and sit down and write. Because before you know it, the new year will be upon us and you will wonder why you weren't quite as successful as you wanted to be.
Over the next few weeks, I will be providing tips on how you can get some writing done during the holiday season. Follow along, and let me know your thoughts too.
To you success, my dear writers!
