Thinking about who will read your writing is pretty straightforward. Coming up with a short summary of your main points is a little trickier, but you can usually get something down in writing to get yourself started.
But if you’re like most of us, when you start thinking about how much time you have for your project, that’s when things get a lot more stressful.
I don’t have any magic bullet that can help you manage your writing time in a way that guarantees success.
But what I can do is to help you make the time you do have a little less stressful.
Let’s assume that you have a witting project that you need to complete. And you have some kind of a deadline, either a hard deadline given to you by someone else or a self-imposed one. (If you don’t have a specific deadline, come up with one.)
So you know how much time you have to get your writing done.
As you visualize that chunk of time, the most important thing you have to do is set a date for D-day. In the next post, we’ll talk about what that means.
