Tolkien was a notorious procrastinator and look at what h
accomplished! Its all too easy to find excuses to procrastinate o
writing. This was true even in college creative workshops, wher
the structure and deadlines were meant to guide students int
finishing projects. But I remember deadline mornings wersynonymous with baggy eyes, the stench of black coffee, and st
unstapled, freshly printed paper. Many students didnt hee
advice to allocate work. Outside of workshop settings, wit
nothingto steer us away from the grinds of everyday life, creativ
projects often get pushed aside. As Tolkien said, weve got t
figure out what to do with the time thats given to us from
finding inspiration, to now, figuring out ways to be more prolific
Here are some tips:

store to tracking running distance to checking movie times, ther

now seems to be apps for everything on your to-do list. Add som
writing apps to that list. Need help organizing acts or characte
traits? Try Coggle, a free mind-mapping program all you nee
is a google account. Wonder if your dialogue is too wordy o
prose unclear? Put it through Hemingway, which analyzes blockof text that may be hard to read. If writing isnt a matter of life o
death for you, try using Write or Die, in which you set word coun
goals; if you dont meet them, there are various consequences
including annoying sounds and jiggling spiders.
Set specific goals and deadlines. With vague deadlines, it itempting to keep pushing work aside for an indefinite amount o
time. Id jot down a note to write two scenes by the end of th
week, but by the time Sunday night rolled around, Id forgotte
with nothing on paper. So instead, try daily goals, allocatin
specific (yet realistic) times each day for writing. When I se
deadlines like, Write one scene on Monday, I dont think t
myself that I have more time. Instead, with less leeway, I fee
obligated to cross it off the list.
Start with the simple. I find figuring out the climax of my story th
most daunting when I first start a project. But that doesnt mean
cant work around that, making a story more manageable in turn
For instance, I might shape smaller events, write lists o
characters traits, or detail setting descriptions. I think of th
process like a sculptor patiently chipping away a block of clay
stripping the peripheral and working in, rather than jumpin

straight into molding a defined, facial expression.
Find a creative community. It doesnt matter if your community i
just a few friends with the same interests as you. What matter
is that there are people to bounce ideas from and share youwork with, especially because we all know writing is such
solitary act that can get quite lonely. I love having other writers (o
interested friends) who help me work out plot alternatives or forc
me to clarify story themes. They keep me accountable. Outsid
of classroom workshops, my college town had monthly reading
of creative work and free film screenings and festivals. While itjust not possible to keep in contact with every single person yo
meet, these events helped connect me with fellow peers, an
being supportive of one another and their new ideas. Also tr
local, city meetups, and resources like Shut Up and Write! no
only will you meet new people, but you also get writing don
during their timed meetings.
Mark down schedules for reference. Its easy to lose track of how
much you have (or have not) accomplished once the month
pass by. A friend, working on her first novel, went through
slump period in which she realized the days were all becoming
blur. So she got a timer and began marking the time frames sh
spent writing each day. Through consistency, she now has all he
scenes finished. By using a framework, you can see the progres
and isnt that whats ultimately satisfying about writing?ENLACE[http://www.screencraft.org/blog/stop-procrastinating-write-screenwriting/]
