Brooke Warner, founder
and president of Warner Coaching,
where she specializes in helping writers get published, offers five tips for
writing a memoir.
FIND A WRITING PARTNER and
notify him or her by email when you start the day’s writing and when you sign
off for the day — no matter whether you get an answer.
JOT DOWN ALL YOUR EXCUSES for
not writing or not writing as much as you want to.
PAY YOURSELF FOR SHOWING
UP to your writing sessions, even small amounts that you can
later set aside to treat yourself or use to pay your writing business, if you
have one; write the payment off as a business expense.
KEEP A DAILY JOURNAL on
your progress. Record the date and time that you begin, how long you will work
and what you will focus on. When you are finished for the day, evaluate your
progress by noting how you felt about what you accomplished and, more
objectively, how many words you wrote. Then, write down your goals for
tomorrow.
TURN OFF your
Internet, email and phone.
These are five great tips; however, it is hard to find a writing partner since everyone is so busy - but one day.
