By Gabrielle Schwabauer, Staff Writer\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I wrote my first novel, the thought of having to produce words on command made me feel sick inside. Every time I sat down in front of my computer, anxiety flared up in my chest<\/strong>, begging me to close the document. But I desperately wanted to finish my novel, so I committed to completing 750 words, five days a week, no matter what.<\/p>\n

Three years later, I\u2019ve taught my mind to expect writing, to think of it as a daily responsibility like making supper or taking a shower. I\u2019ve taught my anxious brain that I can produce words on command, and that if it\u2019s a difficult and frustrating process, that\u2019s okay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here are some strategies that made writing manageable for me:<\/p>\n

Outline Your Novel<\/span><\/h3>\n

Examine what kind of story you want to tell before you tell it<\/strong>, and then choose a method of outlining that fits your story and personality.<\/p>\n

Outlining by story trajectory<\/h4>\n

This method is based on the overall plot arc. What is the story goal? How does your hero change from beginning to end?<\/strong> Some writers start with a desired endpoint and trace the logical steps that must precede it. If your hero becomes a pirate captain at the end of the story, how can this outcome seem impossible off the start? Let\u2019s say he\u2019s terrified of water, living in poverty, and enslaved to a cruel blacksmith.<\/p>\n

Outlining by chapter<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For those who have used The One Year Adventure Novel<\/em> (OYAN) writing curriculum, this method will be the most familiar. Here, you break down your story idea into chapters, each centered around a change of values. Within the chapter, what shift takes place?<\/strong> How does the hero get closer to attaining the story goal, or how does she fail so that the goal seems even more impossible?<\/p>\n

Outlining by scene<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When I write, I include one sentence per scene within each chapter document, to give myself a general idea of the length of the chapter and what needs to happen to get from Point A to Point B. Then, when I start tackling the book, I\u2019m not faced with the problem of \u201cwhat needs to happen next?\u201d at every new chapter. I simply follow the guidelines I\u2019ve already laid down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outlining by character or element<\/strong><\/h4>\n

My second novel featured a family of seven, with a ten-year-old girl as the narrator. The primary subplots centered around her father and her five siblings. Since this was a slice-of-life novel rather than an adventure novel, I outlined with an eye to the progression of each of these family-member subplots. I had plotted out twenty chapters, so I pasted twenty sticky notes to the top of my closet doors. Having assigned each sibling his or her own color of sticky note, I tracked which sibling subplots made an appearance in each chapter<\/strong>, writing one sentence on each note to indicate how Duncan or Laurel or whoever entered into my narrative at that point in the story. After laying out this giant, multicolored grid, I could see at a glance where I\u2019d dropped threads.<\/p>\n

This type of planning might be overkill for a traditional adventure story, but for a long and complex fantasy composed of intertwining subplots, or a man-who-learned-better tale full of overlapping character arcs, it can help the author to trace each individual thread<\/strong> to make sure that nothing disappears \u2013 or reappears at the end out of nowhere.<\/p>\n

Set Goals<\/span><\/h3>\n

Okay, you\u2019ve drawn up an outline. Maybe it\u2019s a roll of graph paper tacked to the wall and lined with color-coded notecards, and maybe it\u2019s a one-page plot summary, but it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n

Now you have to write the book.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is where well-meaning writers tend to fall apart. Even with a compelling plotline, an engaging cast, and a poignant theme, your book must be written<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to set goals.<\/p>\n

Setting a timed goal<\/strong> requires you to spend a certain amount of time writing on a certain number of days per week. This goal is a good fit for those who struggle to implement writing as a regular activity\u2014setting aside a specific time for writing (say, 45 minutes per day, five days per week) means that you can plan your schedule around writing rather than asking yourself every evening \u201cDo I have time to write today?\u201d<\/p>\n

If you set a wordcount goal<\/strong>, you commit to writing a certain number of words a certain number of times per week. This is the type of goal I prefer, because it provides a tangible sense of progress. My novel grows by at least 1,000 words per day, come rain or shine or a five-ton writer\u2019s block. If you choose this strategy, set your wordcount a few hundred words past your comfort zone. If you can keep typing even when it feels like pulling out your own hair, you will often emerge on the other side with a more focused mind, one that finally settles down, cooperates, and produces a story.<\/p>\n

In a project goal<\/strong>, you commit to working on one story until it is complete. No hunting down passing plot bunnies. When you get stuck in Chapter 4 because you\u2019ve always hated middles, refer back to your outline, search for conflict, and ask for help from a friend; don\u2019t start that newer, shinier, more exciting story.<\/p>\n

Lastly, don\u2019t forget editing goals<\/strong>. If you want to improve an old story, set daily goals the same way you would for a rough draft. For example, you might exchange novel critiques with a friend and commit to implementing their critiques by Christmas. You might take your 200,000-word tome and edit a chapter every week, resolving to trim at least a 200 words per day. You might divide your novel\u2019s number of pages by 90 and commit to editing x number of pages per day: revision 1 complete in three months!<\/p>\n

Whatever goal you choose, strike a balance between challenge and attainability<\/strong>. If you want to finish your novel by the end of the year, think seriously about what kind of schedule you\u2019d have to keep in order to make that happen. If you don\u2019t stretch your writing comfort zone\u2014even if it means you suffer through the \u201cgrind\u201d of daily writing for a few months\u2014you\u2019re never going to become more comfortable with the routine.<\/p>\n

At the same time, though, don\u2019t set an unrealistic goal based on an idealized version of the future. You won\u2019t meet the goal, you\u2019ll feel constantly guilty for things like \u201cdoing homework\u201d and \u201csleeping,\u201d and you\u2019ll fall so far behind that writing will get tossed to the side again. When evaluating your schedule and priorities, be fair<\/strong>. Don\u2019t commit to something you know will overwhelm you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Utilize Outside Resources<\/span><\/h3>\n

Perhaps you, like so many others, find yourself using your \u201cwriting time\u201d to craft moodboards in Photoshop, run your characters through online personality quizzes, or scour YouTube for a song that will perfectly encapsulate your heroine\u2019s emotional turmoil.<\/p>\n

These resources can prove to be a dangerous distraction. But they can also be twisted to serve your purposes<\/strong>\u2014that is, to help you write more frequently and more effectively\u2014if<\/em> you know how to trick your brain.<\/p>\n

Reference Images<\/strong>. Don\u2019t let yourself believe that Pinterest counts as writing. There\u2019s nothing wrong with using images for inspiration, but it\u2019s not a replacement for buckling down and doing the work. If you want to comb the Internet for the perfect photo, do it in your free time<\/strong>. Keep the time you\u2019ve dedicated to writing a writing-only zone, and call picture hunting what it is: fun.<\/p>\n

Playlists<\/strong>. The key here is, again, to minimize the possibility for distraction. If music helps you to write, spend an afternoon creating a playlist, order the songs in a way that evokes the mood of your novel or follows your protagonist\u2019s arc, and stick with it. Build a habit of listening to the same songs in the same order every time you write.<\/strong> I adopted this practice while writing my first novel, and after a few weeks, hearing the first few chords of the first song triggered a more focused writing mindset.<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>. If you can, dedicate a time and space to writing on a regular basis. Pick a spot on the couch and sit there every time you write. Don your writing cap. Sit on your bed and lean against the wall. If you can do something about your writing routine in the same way every time, be it time, place, or (ideally) both, those associations will start to work in your favor<\/strong>, prompting your mind to be ready for writing right away.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, you\u2019re noticing a trend here: consistency<\/strong>. Establishing routines around writing teaches you to slide into the proper headspace like a favorite t-shirt, faded and familiar. It might be a painful slog at first, but I can promise you: your future self will thank you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Do you have any writing routines that help you to write consistently?<\/em><\/p>\n
