Note: Part 2 of the Absolute Beginner’s Guide: How to Get Started Writing SFF is going up tomorrow!
This week on the podcast, Maureen and I talk about a motivational technique she uses in her classes, where you write a contract for yourself. The contract should include goals, a timeline, and also some sorts of rewards. It might be a good idea to create a contract after you finish a project or take a class, or if you’re facing a stretch of time that you want to carve out for writing.
It’s also important, though, to pace yourself and not set goals that will burn you out. Be kind to yourself!
