On such occasions, I would really struggle to get my writing done. <\/p>\n<p>It's a testament to the passion I have for what I do, that I kept going for so long. <\/p>\n<p>So much so, that I eventually began reaping financially rewarding benefits as a result of my writing e.g via sales leads for my <a href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/sdnuggets\/video-free-upgrade-excel-vb-ration-formulator-stores-exports-derived-formulas\/\" target=\"blank\">feed formulation software\/handbook<\/a>, direct sales of my print\/electronic books from my <a href=\"http:\/\/lulu.com\/sdaproducts\" target=\"blank\">online store<\/a> etc.<\/p>\n<h3>Today, I No Longer Struggle To Write Like I Used To<\/h3>\n<p>Something has changed - and for the better too.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since I began following a <a href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/sdnuggets\/how-to-use-the-self-development-nuggets-blog\/\" target=\"blank\">publishing schedule<\/a> (based on 6 different categories, at one per day) on my blog, everything has simply fallen in place.<\/p>\n<p>I now have an amazing degree of clarity about what to write about. It's so much easier to narrow down to potential topics when the categories have been defined. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, I am able to do the actual writing quickly and almost effortlessly because I would often have spent time thinking up useful points to go with my chosen topic before it falls due.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, writing according to a schedule has enabled me progressively build up my library of written works based on the set categories. <\/p>\n<p>This now gives me added motivation to write more, since I plan to periodically publish ebooks for sale on each category using a compilation of selected write-ups. Each write-up will probably be treated as a chapter in the ebook. <\/p>\n<p>I know from past experience that this works, having used the same strategy to get my <a href=\"http:\/\/lulu.com\/sdaproducts\" target=\"blank\">25 Articles Ebook<\/a> published.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Words<\/h3>\n<p>What I'm saying in essence is that writing based on a <a href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/sdnuggets\/how-to-use-the-self-development-nuggets-blog\/\" target=\"blank\">publishing schedule<\/a> will get you to be more committed to your writing responsibilities. <\/p>\n<p>It will also make you more consistent in producing good quality content over time.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that less than 3 months ago, I did not believe in using a schedule, what I've said here should be worthy of consideration by any writer in search of viable ways to boost her writing productivity.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\"You can't say, I won't write today because that excuse will extend into several days, then several months, then\u2026 you are not a writer anymore, just someone who dreams about being a writer.\" - Dorothy C.
