Hello friends,
I am recovering from possibly one of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time. I’m not the type of woman who finds herself at bars and clubs three nights in a row, I look like a librarian for goodness sake, but there I was doing the damn thing. How do people do it? Party three nights in a row like that? On a normal basis! That’s insane. Besides, one of my professors from school gave me advice on how to be a better a writer. Actually, it was a list of fourteen things. Here are my notes:
- Always say yes
- It’s all about the connections and relationships (networking)
- Build your own brand
- Social Media
- Your own website
- Time Management
- No excuses
- Make a Budget
- Travel
- Get outside anywhere/ everywhere
- Make a list of where you want to go
- Face your fears and take risks
- Inform yourself as a writer
- What makes you uncomfortable will help you
- Work out
- 20 minutes a day
- Know who you are
- All your characters are you
- Be confident
- Know your own story
- Know how to take a meeting
- meeting a manager
- arrive 10-15 minutes early, dress the part, always say yes (if they ask for water or coffee), research who you are seeing, pay attention to their office
- Be proactive
- Do it yourself, make your own stuff
- Treat writing like a job
- Write goals, daily, weekly, yearly
- 21 days to create a habit
- Do not live in a bubble
- Be interested and interesting
The numbers 1, 6, 13, and 14 are relevant to my weekend. I have so much to share with you guys and I am quite inspired by the things that occurred this past weekend. I am no longer a boring person…
