I've been practicing Hemingway's writing technique for about a month now. It's great! I've never been more easily motivated to write. Starting a writing session - or any other project for that matter - is a cinch since I stopped when I was on a roll. All I have to do is pick up where I left off and enjoy the ride. I honestly don't know where this technique's been all my life.
Trouble is ... it doesn't help finish anything. I've got a pile of half-written blog entries and stories. It seems, therefore, that one needs a second discipline in order to complete anything. Deadlines work for me. Bernie says transparency's good to. A blog is a little bit of both - telling the world what you're doing on a regular basis.
So with that, I'm going back to posting daily. Please do harass me if I slack.
