Holiday writing time organized...

‘Tis the season to be... productive. With the hustle and bustle of the appending holiday season, it can be easy to push aside your writings, and focus on the hoopla of the season.
But with strategic planning to your writing routine, you can have the best of both worlds: enjoy your friends and family, and keep a steady writing routine. If you have a busy holiday schedule, there are a few things that you can do to stay 'in the spirit' AND get things done!
1. Create holiday writing (daily) goals-- If you tell yourself that you are going to write 5,000 words, each day of the holiday season, then STICK TO IT. Don't give yourself a 'pass' because it's the holidays. JUST DO IT.
2. Write in the morning-- MOST writers already do this. But, if you dedicate some time in the morning, while the family is asleep, you will make your goal!
3. Give yourself a break-- I know. How can I give myself a break, if I'm supposed to be sticking to the goal? You can compromise. You can still engage in the holidays; just make sure that you make up the work that you missed.
