Write regularly

Writing daily is ideal, but not all of us can do it.

Perhaps it's every couple of days, once a week, or once a month. It's whatever you have time for.

Similarly, we may only have so much time for a session. Five minutes or five hours. But doing some work is all that matters.

In the end, you have to show up consistently. The more time you spend, the more your writing will improve and the more you will have to show for it.

Good luck.
