I was out at the weekend and I got into a conversation with someone about ‘goals’.

This guy’s working on a book of short stories and gets really into it when he’s writing - enjoys himself; likes what he’s creating - but then a week can pass by and he realises he hasn’t done any work on it.

He said he’s worried that by being inconsistent with his writing, he’ll never complete the collection. And it’s important to him that he does.

How do I create a writing routine? he said.
