Summer is here and we all deserve a little rest & relaxation. But that does not mean you should forget about your writing goals.
Here are a few ways to stay committed to your craft.
Ditch Your Gadgets
Those snazzy gadgets are a lot of fun but they can also zap your productivity.
Why not go for a low-tech approach by picking up a pen & paper this summer?
It’s just as portable as your netbook or eReader but it also offers distraction-free writing time while people-watching, in the park or even at the beach.

Writing requires physical and mental concentration. Make sure you're well-fed, drink lots of water, and stay away from any addictions. There is a time for everything. Let people around you know that when you're writing, it's not the time for chit-chat.
Do all you need to do (all those other daily activities) before you begin writing or after you're done writing for the day. That way, the time you spend writing will be just for that - writing.
Also, do lots of research on your subject(s) and take notes before you write. That way you have a lot of info to draw upon as you write, without research breaks that could slow you down.
Good points there, Mary.
As un-fun as this sounds, seems like discipline is the writer's best friend. Doesn't mean you can't mix it up a little for summer but nothing feels worse than getting to the end of the summer and having little to show for it. Mary's tips are perfect for staying on track.
