Joining Friends and Supernatural – 100 episodes!

I can hardly believe this is our 100th week for Routines for Writers! It’s been fun going back over old posts and trying to decide what my favorites are – and fun to see a pattern in my faves! Here are my Top Ten favorite posts over the last 100 weeks.

I like reminding myself how to keep my spirits up like in An Antidote to Discouragement. I got a lot out of writing through my thoughts and feelings on expectations versus reality in Satisfaction Guaranteed. And after a great Author Crush Month, I spent some time trying to figure out if I had A Routine That Doesn’t Fit.

In Time Wasters and How to Avoid Them, I shared my thoughts on how to get more writing done in the 24 hours we each have. I also like to think about planning my writing and my future as best I can like in Planning For Success and Sowing For Success. We’ve also talked a lot about software and Internet tools that can help us, but my favorite post along those lines was Software to Keep Me Organized.

I’m a big believer in getting away from your normal routine at least once a year to get more writing done, often with other writers. Read Plan Your Own Writing Retreat if you want some ideas on how to do the same.

Like a lot of writers, I’m always revising how I do things – including how I revise my drafts like in Back Away From Your Computer. And particularly since starting my master degree in creative writing, I’ve been thinking a lot more about why I write, like in Meet Their Needs with Excellence and Generosity.

It’s funny how sharing these with you has inspired me to re-read some of my old posts, my thoughts on writing, why I do it and how to do it better. School starts again next week – I’m sure these will help me get inspired and motivated for another semester of working hard at my craft!
