A powerful book about creating a customized weekly writing routine that puts you back in control of your writing.

It's time to stop struggling to stay focused, to set goals, or to write consistently. It's time for a new weekly writing routine.

Routines help writers by making it easier, more enjoyable, and more rewarding to sit down and write. Look at any productive author and you will see someone with a rock-solid writing routine.

Stop yelling at yourself to "be more productive" or "just get the writing done." Instead, use this practical workbook to:

• Run a comprehensive audit of your existing writing routine


• Develop your writing goals


• Design a new weekly writing routine that fits your working style


• Implement, revise, and cement your new routine

This workbook is a companion to The 12 Week Year for Writers, a proven system for managing your writing. The workbook introduces the six most important elements of a healthy and productive writing routine:

• Scheduling


• Planning


• Preparation


• Showing Up


• Focus


• Accountability

When you learn how to use each of these to your advantage, you will find yourself showing up for every writing session, you will get into flow more quickly and get distracted less often. You will make plans, hit your goals, and get more writing done, with more enjoyment, than ever before.
