After the busyness of the holidays, when most book projects take a back seat to holiday activity, it can be hard to start writing again. One way to ease back in is to rediscover the joy of writing.
Try writing about something that brings you joy. Don’t worry about structure and grammar. It doesn’t have to fit into your book project. Just put words on paper for the sheer joy of it.
This action helps warm up your writing muscles.
It reminds you how much fun it is to write.
It’ll be your first writing step in the new year, so you can find your writing path.
And it’ll help create momentum that sets the tone for your writing project.
This week, don’t worry if you haven’t been writing over the holidays. Most of us haven’t. Don’t be concerned about what comes next. Just find a fun topic, write a paragraph, and you’ll be on your way to a new writing journey for the new year. Have fun!
