I have been writing for over a decade. I have only been a full-time writer for a few months in these ten years.

I have always been writing on the side when I was enrolled in a rigorous college program and working various jobs.

Managing extracurriculars, family, and friends while writing was initially challenging, but I became pretty good at it with time. The busier I got, the more I wrote.

The busier I got the more I wrote.

Written 1000s of articles online, I have developed a framework that helps me write prolifically.

Here's the framework.

Have a clear objective

When I started writing online, my brain would go like this

“I need to write.”

After 10 years, my brain has started giving precise and exact orders it needs for function. Mentioning the words helps me feel less anxious about writing.

Mentioning time gives a deadline instead of an infinite timeline to finish a piece. Knowing exactly what you need to do helps you move forward.
