The sole writing teacher I ever had taught only five things. He said that to be a writer five practices were necessary: (1) Write in the same place every day; (2) Write at the same time every day; (3) Write the same amount of time every day; (4) If the words do not flow, sit there and stare at the paper or screen till the designated period of time is over, then return the next day to try again; and (5) Never, ever, let anybody read what you have written until it’s finished, otherwise the bubbles will go off the champagne.
Joan Chittister, prolific spiritual writer, passes on these principles from her writing teacher. I resonate with this practical advice, not just for my writing but for other aspects of my life. Create daily order of time, space , and persona commitment so that creativity can flow. Chittister goes on to say that this advice has also affected her spiritual life. Of course. Whatever is of value to us needs the structure of time, space, and personal commitment to ground us. Without it, we wildly fly about reacting impulsively to the latest random happening that comes our way. [email protected]
