I had great writing habits, got out of the schedule when school ended, and I never got that old set of habits back! <br /><br /><a href="http://thewarriormuse.com/" rel="nofollow">Shannon at The Warrior Muse</a>, co-host of the <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" rel="nofollow">2012 #atozchallenge</a>!

I used to write consistently when I took classes with Carol Lynch Williams mostly because she was scary and I didn't want to disappoint her. Since being out of college I've turned to writing groups as my motivations and scary deadline holders to make me write at least a little bit. <br /><br />For me it helps to have a goal of 250 words or 500 words to write and finish and not look at immediately. It's kinda like this new alphabet thing I'm trying with my blog as per your suggestion--I can blog when I have something to give me an idea but no real guidelines to smother my creativity. I guess I'm very goal oriented... <br /><br />http://tademings.comTA Demingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208290063433622691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-54656032082107647122012-04-09T12:17:59.242-07:002012-04-09T12:17:59.242-07:00My habits are so bad!

And speaking of loyal, you can work towards having a Samwise kind of loyalty to your writing. Be there for it when the chips are down and things seem at their worst, perhaps that writer's block hit unexpectedly trying to steer you off the habit of writing on a daily basis. Like Samwise, give it the stick-to-it attitude.<br /><br />As for forming good habiits, having a specific time and a word count goal often helps.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-16406802376436474862012-04-09T11:14:14.627-07:002012-04-09T11:14:14.627-07:00My bad habit is coming home from the gym in the mo...My bad habit is coming home from the gym in the morning and sitting down with a cup of tea before having a shower - it adds at least an hour before I potentially start writing. If I showered first, I'd be at the computer with my cuppa!<br /><br />I suppose the first step is admitting it!Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-73202405833321837722012-04-09T09:18:08.059-07:002012-04-09T09:18:08.059-07:00I have a habit of writing really late at night.
