How to Gain Momentum in your Writing

Today I'm over at the Insecure Writer's Support Group with an article about 10 Ways to Maintain Writing Momentum. Please pop on over to check it out.

In the meanwhile, here is a pic I took at Australia Zoo...giggle.


What's been happening for you lately? How has your writing momentum been going?

That's such a clever photo. At first glance, I thought they were real owls.

Natalie Aguirre said...

I thought they were real too at first.

DEZMOND said...

those owls look like you had a strange haircut when you visited them

Pat Hatt said...

lol you scared them and they froze that way, geez.

S.P. Bowers said...

Love the pic! No momentum for me, which is why I'm heading over to check it out.

Bish Denham said...

My momentum needs a kick in the rear!

Patricia Stoltey said...

Hi Lynda! The photo is so precious. I love owls.

I'm gaining momentum now that I've finally settled on which project to work on exclusively. I tried revising one ms. while writing new stuff on another and it was just too overwhelming.

Mark said...

Cool, heading over to check it out:)

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

That's a great list. You hit all the good ones.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Shh, don't tell them they aren't real.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

hehehee. But so cute!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

You mean shocked? "What did she do to her hair? Eeek!!!" I get that a lot...

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Yarp, I'm such a meanie.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Hope the article helps

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Yep, so does mine, which is why I wrote the article.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Yeah, I've tried to work on more than one project at a time, but it really does take some serious discipline to do it right. I work far better when I'm totally focused on one thing.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Hope you like it.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Susan.

Joylene Nowell Butler said...

Great post, Lynda. I bookmarked. Love the cute photo.

G. B. Miller said...

Been chipping away on my latest project and so far I've got 8 complete chapters totaling just a shade over 40K words.

I Are Writer!

Getting started is always easy for me; it's staying the course that's the real challenge. Enjoyed your post on #IWSG.

Tyrean Martinson said...

Love that image! My writing has been up and down lately - 2,600 words one day, zero the next, and so on ...
I guess I'll finish my WIP eventually.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

I'm glad you liked the post. Thanks, Joylene.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

That's so awesome!!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Hilary

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Ha, thanks so much.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

I felt a bit conspicuous taking the photo in the gift shop, but it was worth it.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Hehehe, thanks, Terri

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

hehehe. Thanks, Holly

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Yay!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Oh yes, staying the course, especially when the manuscript is in total mess, is a difficult one.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Gotta like the 2600, though! And yes you will finish it if you stick with it.

Denise Covey said...

I haven't seen those little critters. Too cute! My writing is a hard taskmaster ATM, but I'm lovin' it.

Anonymous said...

OMG Those owls are the cutest. Maybe someone told them they were cute and they didn't think so, so it shocked them.

Sheena-kay Graham said...

That photo is so cute. Me? I'm writing on!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

You'll find them in the gift shop ;)

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

hahaha you might be onto something there.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Write on! Great to hear!

Blue Grumpster said...

That's one fantastic picture, Lynda. Love it. Those eyes. :) Oh my writing has been terrible of late. It's called fatigue mixed with a tad of writer's blog. Other than that, it's all good :))

Blue

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Ah, fatigue... I know it well.
Good to hear things are mostly good, though.

Blue Grumpster said...

Don't tell me you suffer from chronic fatigue too, Linda.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Only when I'm stressed. Unfortunately there has been a lot of stress in my life lately.
