Being a full-time writer sounds glamorous, but it demands more work than you can imagine.

Unlike most conventional roles, writers don’t follow a fixed set of instructions to get their job done.

One of the most asked questions I get from writers is — “How to be consistent in writing?”

I understand where they’re coming from. It’s not easy to write every day if you keep waiting for inspiration to strike.

I’ve written 850+ articles in the past 3 years. People think I’m highly motivated because of my stats. But that’s not true.

I’m super lazy, and on most days, I wish I could lie in bed and “chill” all day. But as ambitious writers with bills to pay, that’s a luxury you and I can’t afford.

What you can do instead- build a writing routine that lets you meet your publishing goals without exhausting yourself.

Your routine should keep you consistent without compromising on your life outside work. This article discusses how you can achieve that with a crazy simple writing routine that helps me publish 15+ articles every month.
