I used to try to write four times a day, minimum of three sentences each time. It doesn&#8217;t sound like much but it&#8217;s kinda like the hare and the tortoise. If you try that several times a day you&#8217;re going to do more than three sentences, one of them is going to catch on. You&#8217;re going to say &#8220;Oh boy!&#8221; and then you just write. You fill up the page and the next page. But you have a certain minimum so that at the end of the day, you can say &#8220;Hey I wrote four times today, three sentences, a dozen sentences. Each sentence is maybe twenty word long. That&#8217;s 240 words which is a page of copy, so at least I didn&#8217;t goof off completely today.
