Stuck in front of your blank page. I have been searching for some tips, bit and bobs. I am in love with Marie Forleo on Youtube. Seth Godin is also fantastic, he write a blogpost everyday bless him. His latest blogspost in 'Search of Meaninful' really inspired me: Write everyday and with Passion if not find another platform to express yourself. I have finally some good friends who are used to write, specifically academic papers.
So here is what I gathered:
1# Shake it off, you are awesome - Stop saying to yourself that you have some difficulty to write, that you are too slow. Say, I am a writer and I am pretty good at it
2# See the end, before planning the journey - Think about what you would like the audience to leave with and put together all the ideas to fulfill this goal
3# Keep it short and sweet - go straight to the point
4# Don't write and edit at the same time - write and if you have did not write appropriately a sentence. pause. reformulate it. pause. write it down and keep going. When you have finished to write your text. Go back and edit. You will be quicker. and it will not stop your flow.
7# Give yourself a time limit. It is the most important thing. If not you will never finish!
8# Be the vessel and not the source. Remember that you are sharing information with others through your experiences and through what you've learnt from other people. You are not the source. It makes the process slightly easier and it lifts some weights from shoulder.
9# Create some social accountability. Tell everyone what are currently working on and when you are planning to deliver it. It will encourage you to ensure to get it done
10# schedule your writing time.
11# Create a structure with bullet point and fill the gap
12# get a book coach. Someone who will keep you on track and review what you are writing
Some other tips, thanks Marie Forleo.
Recently, I found some difficulties in completing a paper. I had terrible blocks in completing the task and was procrastinating a LOT. So I went through the following process
1# Be Humble - Recognise that there is an issue
2# Be Specific - strive to pinpoint exactly what are the fears holding you back
3# Promise yourself to work through those issues
4# Strive to look for inspiring example of people who managed to go through with finishing writing a particular book, paper or even get on the top of the world to recognise how thrilling it will be if you finish what you want to accomplish.
Get a friend to go through the exercise if you cannot do it alone :)
If you have other tips, I am eager to hear them. Thank you all
