Get into Comfort Zone

You can never learn how to become a better writer if you have to “force” yourself to write. Whether it’s the pressure of deadlines or a self-imposed pressure to write, it won’t work, ever.

You need to find your writing comfort zone. What motivates you? What churns your mind with ideas? What is that corner of the house where you can write for hours? Does coffee help? Which time is your productivity at highest?

The point is not to stress yourself to write. Writing should come naturally, the words should string together to make meaningful impression.

Find your comfort zone and then write.
