Hey! I didn't know about that story and its a record write a book in 15 days! D: 
It's a little bit strange come across with your post today beacuse I was thinking early in the morning, exactly writing everyday. Maybe like that become in a habit in my regular life and improve my skills.

A long overdue trip visiting my children takes priority this month...then it will be writing time, with hopefully most of the distractions of the past six months set aside!

Whereas I have no ambitions to write a book, the idea of writing every day simply as a tool to inspire creativity and keeping your mind active is very appealing!

As a writer, I'm sure you're familiar with Julia Cameron's "The Artists Way" series, which also advocates writing every day, "whether you feel like it or not." 

The creative flow definitely *does* come more smoothly when you make something "a practice."

=^..^=

@arbitrarykitten mam...
Ask a writer what she values most in her creative life, and she is likely to respond, "Time to write." Not many of us have the luxury of writing full- time; we have spouses, families, day jobs. To the people closest to the writer, "writing time" may seem like so much self-indulgence: Why should we get to sit around thinking all day? Normal people don't require hour after continuous hour of solitude and silence. Normal people can be flexible.

And yet, we writers tell our friends and children, there is nothing more sacrosanct, more vital to our intellectual and emotional well-being, than writing time. But we writers have a secret.
Cheers~~~~

Beautiful

This is excellent advice tnx for sharing and upvote.

Hey, I just found this and I think I'ts great!! I'm making something like this that is called "Proyecto Escribe" Isn't in steemit but I'm bringing it hereee!! Every day we have like a challenge and it become a personal task, gonna try to do this at the same time.

It´s totally true, you have to find time to write, the distractions are mostly in our heads, sometimes you have all the noise inside.

You've just touched something in me. 
>Make time to write and not find time to write. 

I think I was more on the finding instead of making. I didn't see the difference until now. I'll see what I'll achieve in a week from this.

Shiny bodies are _very_  distracting though....

There are times that when I get home from work that I don't have the energy to be able to write a steemit post. 

I will make excuses, even say I will just take a nap and then I wake up to a morning that I need to go to work. 

So no matter what or how tired I am I endeavor to write at least 1 post a day. Writing is like a muscle the more you write the better you will be.

Really Author Amanda Hocking is an inspiration to many. I hope this post reach many readers and inspire them to achieve their goal. Thanks for sharing this post.

if you continue this way you will succeed in life.surely

This is excellent advice. I *really* need to ~~try~~ do this.

I also write everyday and started to make it into a habit a few years ago. It's really amazing when you can go back and have a list on all your best thoughts and ideas. Even better when you can colour code it in various categories. The best is when you make it into a habit of writing on your phone since you always have it with you. Then connect a portable Bluetooth keyboard. Now you can write anywhere and super fast. 

When you have a passion for writing it won't really be an issue after a while. Especially after you have made it hardwire into a habit that you just do. And the key thing is to release the text on some place where people can study it. This will force you to come up with new material and ideas all the time. That are even better! It's somewhat a law of abundance that after you have given something out you will always have more new content to give. 

And you always want to try to create something that is a bit extra. Something that feels premium or unique. Something that has an interesting twist. You want to go over the text with careful attention to see if anything great can be added for some flavour or excitement. And you want a nice keyboard and perhaps download a great font. I just let the text come to me and it always does. Very little thinking going on. Since the value is already there I only have to move my hands on the keyboard.

Thank you  @arbitrarykitten for this Challenge, It's not easy and you really have to be committed. I just did a 'self ' Challenge and finished a few weeks ago. It was 100 day Challenge to blog ( and actually I haven't stopped yet lol)

But writing everyday is so beneficial as it hard wires your Brain to become more and more proficient at doing it. 

Again ,thanks for your post :)

I admire those who can write a book and/or making a living out of writing. Like most things in this life, it's not easy. I require more than a talent, it needs passion and patience as well. I've tried to write a story book for a charity children home that I supported many years ago and it took me half a year to finish it. Then I realized how hard it is and those writers that makes millions from their books, they truly deserved it. 

"It's not enough to find time to write. You must make time to write." I totally agree with this statement, it's a simple words but very inspiring.

I don't think I need a writing challenge, I have been writing like the clappers since I joined Steemit in March. Talk about an outlet for my creativeness!

However, I hereby commit to the writing challenge!
