Step 8: Establish a writing routine
A writing routine is a set of habits and practices that help you to write regularly and productively. It includes when, where, how long, and how much you write each day or week.
To establish a writing routine that works for you, you need to:
- Set realistic and achievable writing goals
- Schedule specific and consistent writing times
- Find a comfortable and distraction-free writing space
- Track your writing progress and reward yourself
- Experiment with different writing methods and tools
- Seek feedback and support from other writers
bibisco helps you to establish a writing routine by providing you with a writing goals tool. You can use it to set your words goal, your words per day goal, and your deadline. You can also use it to track the progress of your work over time.
Step 9: Shut out your inner editor
Your inner editor is the critical voice in your head that tells you that your writing is not good enough, that you need to fix every mistake, and that you should give up. It is the voice of doubt, fear, and perfectionism that hinders your creativity and productivity.
To shut out your inner editor while writing your novel, you need to:
- Accept that your first draft will be imperfect and that you can improve it later
- Focus on getting your ideas down rather than polishing every sentence
- Write fast and freely without stopping to edit or revise
- Embrace mistakes, errors, and gaps as opportunities for learning and growth
- Silence negative thoughts and affirm positive ones
bibisco helps you to shut out your inner editor by providing you with a distraction-free mode. You can use it to write without any distractions or interruptions. You can also use it to enjoy the process of writing and express yourself freely.
Step 10: Revise and rewrite your first draft
Revising and rewriting your first draft is the process of improving your novel by making changes to its content, structure, style, and language. It involves reading, evaluating, editing, and rewriting your novel until it reaches its best possible form.
