<b>Take small steps</b>Find Time to Write is based on the small steps approach to time management. In a nutshell, you can take any task and break it down into smaller and smaller steps until it becomes manageable. You can do small things in your everyday life to help you achieve your goals. This book applies the small steps approach to the writing life. If you want to write, you don’t need a big idea, you need to find the time to turn up and do it. This book shows you how.The three week ‘Beginnings’ section will get your writing habit set up and ready to go. Next, the ‘30 Day Writing Challenge’ will supercharge your writing life.<b>Learn how to show up</b>No-one ever sits down to write a 50,000 or 100,000 word novel or stage play or screenplay or non-fiction book. All writers of long projects do this: they write and redraft 1000 words 50 times (or 100 times). Or they write 500 words 100 times (or 200 times). Could you find the time to write 1000 words sometime this week, or could you write 250 words 4 times this week? If you can, you can finish the first draft of your book or play by this time next year. You don’t need to start with an idea. You need time and space to write, and you need to show up regularly. Find Time to Write will help you to show up.
