Kathi and Michele open up their podcast today with talking about what their morning routines look like. Kathi shares six tips on how to help you write 500 words each day while sharing a little bit of her story on how she was able to complete her first four books. “I wrote in snitches and snatches,” she says. There was a season of life when Kathi would write in her minivan during her son’s practice.
In one of her tips, Kathi suggests stopping in the middle of a sentence and leaving notes to your future self so you know where to pick up the thought when you’re able to sit down and write again.
Kathi would love to hear from you if you end up trying one of her tips and if it increases your daily word count!
