My goal for 2023 was to finish writing my first novel. I made it halfway through my word count goal, but didn't make it all the way. I'm still very pleased with my progress and excited to continue into the new year!

You're absoluting right! Making a scene fun to write has two great outcomes - You write more and the reader will enjoy the scene more if you have fun writing it.

Same goes for when I'm not enjoying a scene, I know a reader isn't going to like it either.

The multitasking thing is very accurate. Despite what they think, no one can legitimately do that. All they do is switch back and forth getting nothing done. Just try writing a book report while painting your house, good luck multi taskers.

I enjoyed your amazing advice! 😊❤ Thank you so much for your awesome video…your voice is soothing and the information is resourceful and vital.

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking! Thank you!

This is a much better video than I thought it would be. thank you. As for you dear girl I would recommend finding a fidget toy because that need to multi task can be a sign of ADHD. So a fidget toy can help sooth your brains "need" to multi task. Again thank you for making this a much more positive and helpful video than I thought it would be.

Excellent tips, thank you. I have just restarted my writing focus using habit-tracking and am using many of your tips.

*First You Write A Sentence* by Joe Moran will supplement Shaelin's canny counsel. *Gordon Lish thought that storytelling worked best when the writer kept returning to and revising the previous sentence, in escalating, *tautening patterns of sameness and variation.* Joe Moran quotes WB Yeats - *As I altered my syntax,* said the poet, *I altered my intellect.* *A sentence must say something,* Joe Moran writes, *but it can be a half-said thing and the better for it.*

Using existing habits, or what Atomic Habits calls Stacking, is truly very helpful to build new habits. I love the association idea - I'm trying to build it with my meditation practice, almost like allowing for a "download" of sorts! Tracking procrastination - this is the most helpful one for me - I tend to get sidetracked by social media...though I think what's also helpful is to probably observe why the wanting to distract is happening in the first place...

Consistency is key.

One thing that helps me is using a “productivity method” like the pomodoro method. Essentially, get a timer, set it for twenty-five minutes, and focus on only writing during that time. Then, when the timer goes off, set it for five minutes and give yourself to goof-off time. When the time goes off again, it’s time for another twenty-five. I Ute writing session. After a certain number of cycles, give yourself a longer goof-off session.

One of the distractions I'm considering cutting back on in 2024 to give myself more time for writing is unsubscribing from some email lists. I have a tendency to get a lot of different emails from a variety of things--news sources, special interests, and yes, writing. And they just sit in my inbox and I say, "I'll read them in a few days". Well that day never comes and I just get worked up because I've got a ton of email in my box. I need to either unsubscribe from some of these things or delete it if I don't have time to read it/deal with it. It can be overwhelming and it spills over into writing time.

Love love love your videos Shaelin, but this video was a bit hard to follow. It feels rushed.

Here is how I do it. I don't watch TV or have a smart phone. I don't do social media. I don't give in to distractions. I employ AIC, which is, azz in chair. I also treat it like a real job because it is. At work one can't not work. It helps if you enjoy your work, if not, why do it?

I feel planning to write is extruciating chore and not fun for me. I find myself getting distracted and unmotivated esepecially when I know waking up everyday and not being able to feel that motivation the feeling of structure to my day rather than being creative. I'm losing focus and not aligning my goals.
