Even if you’re like me and you tend to write in giant bursts (my top wordcount is 6500 words in a single evening) it’s important to write something each day. It’s important to be thinking about your writing each day. Even if you’re polishing a proposal or making revisions for an agent, write a paragraph or so on something new. Further an outline, add to a synopsis, finish a chapter. Keep your “output” up so that you’ll always have something new in the pipeline. Books are your product.
