Finding Time to Write - Knocking Out Writers' Block

I make a promise to myself every day that I will work for at least one hour on my writing. I set the bar low because I am easily daunted and prone to laziness.

More often than not the one hour turns into 2 or 3 hours, but if it doesn't I can still pat myself on the back for attaining my goal.

On those days when I don't feel like writing at all, I say to myself, "Okay Alex. Open the Word document and write just ONE WORD." I've had instances when the one word turned into 500.

This also works for writers' block.
