Hungry Girl Book Writing Discipline? Robin Rice Does, Sort Of...

Hungry Girl has writes a recipe every 5 seconds. Not all writers use the same kind of discipline. Robin Rice, author of the real-time novel at http://www.MaydenChronicles.com, fesses up about what she does and doesn't think is needed to get a book written.

THE MAYDEN CHRONICLES is a magical novel being written as a blog in real time (about a chapter every ten days) with video posts to enhance the story as well as to reveal the actual writing process. We have prizes for those who comment, including a grand prize $3,800 diamond studded watch form Baume & Mercier.

We feature young adult writers and posts on creating excellence in any field. We especially love to incorporate the comments from our readers into edits and next chapters.

I really enjoyed your video.

I get together once a week with several writers and work in silence for a few hours. It's like study hall in school and makes a great jumpstart to the week.

The hardest part is the first draft. Just write, write, write, whether you feel like it or not. I don't wait for my muse. Some days she must be out at the mall having coffee while I'm slaving over the laptop. Once I have the first draft down, though, writing becomes fun.

Good luck with your books!

Hi SamGallagher12! I agree, there are many times when I show up, THEN the must shows up! Thanks!

Great that you feel like writing all the time... that is RARE from what I know! Enjoy it!

Thank you for posting this video! It will help me to complete my fantasy novel!

Awesome!!! Glad to hear it. You know the old saying if you can touch one life in a positive way, you're even. Touch two, you are golden. May you touch many!

gotta figure out what really does work for you then... maybe the concept of discipline you have doesn't work for you... or maybe you have other reasons, hard to say. But for sure, authoritative discipline styles don't work for me! Thanks for commenting!

For me butt glue dos not work for me. what really works for me is writing when I feel like it, and I feel like writing all the time. For me the discipline in it is to stop writing when I know that I'm writing crap. Because I'll go all night even if my creativity is on empty. so for me that is the what my discipline is

I have absolutely no writing discipline. That's why I haven't written anything for two years.
