How I tricked myself into writing more

Establishing new habits has always been a little difficult for me because I am a creature of habit and I don't really like changing my daily routine. So, establishing a writing habit was pretty difficult for me. I came across another forum (not WA) of writers that are professional writers... Meaning they write a novel a month (50,000+ words) type of writers. I am nowhere that level but figured if I emulated some of their habits I could start my journey towards writing as much and as often as they do. All of them recommended 750words.com, which I had never heard of before.
I highly recommend anyone that is struggling to establish a writing habit to check this out! It is free for the first month and the concept is simple. You literally sit down every single day and write 750 words and eventually this helps you get into the habit of daily writing. No one else sees your writing if you don't want them to, so feel free to use it as a daily journal if you want.
If are not interested in daily writing, then no need to look into this. But, if you want to have accountability for daily writing, share your writing with others, and compete against others for word count (like me) then check it out =)
After the initial trial period, it's $5 per month which is not too bad in my book. That is all from me. Enjoy!
