5 Standout Habits of Successful Writers
Adopt them to reproduce skyrocket your writing impact
Nicolas Cole is one of the most successful online writers on the planet.
He once said, “The best writing is not a result, it’s a byproduct.”
What he meant is that great authors don’t just sit down and go from a blank page to crafting a great novel.
Rather, they built a daily writing habit into their life.
But they also compound a bunch of other habits that contribute to their creativity, making producing great content second nature.
Let’s take a look at 5 of those compound habits.
Habit #1: Long walks
Orson Scott Card, the fiction writer, once said:
“Take care of your body. Writing is a sedentary business; it’s easy for many of us to get fat and sluggish. Your brain is attached to the rest of your body. You can’t do your best work when you’re weak or in ill health.”
His prescription to take care of his body was a 1-hour walk.
Namely, he said, “It’s worth the time to take an hour’s walk before writing. You may write a bit less for the time spent, but you may find that you write better.”
