Writing (if that’s where your creativity lies) every day is KEY! I remember attending a writers craft meeting where they used the acronym BICHOK… Butt In Chair, Hands On Keyboard.

From one published author friend, I received a kitchen timer with the inspirational words, “Just 30 Minutes a Day!” It is definitely a helpful concept, but I personally couldn’t stand the constant ticking sound, and then when the bell finally went off, it caused mini heart attacks of surprise.

Another awesome author friend of mine, Anna Randol, gave me a beautiful Hour Glass, which they actually make in 30 minute increments. The best part….no more heart attacks. ; )
