Part of mobile writing is training your brain for laser-focus on your work. These moments also vary in quality and distraction-level. Stolen moments vary from a few seconds (time for edits), to more than an hour. Six months of that time is spend waiting at stop lights.

We’ll steal our time back.Īccording to Google we spend a full five years of our lives waiting for stuff. This is a block of time you own, which another person or thing has taken away from you. The mobile writing process starts with the stolen moment. It’s harder to make the time when you have less, and it’s harder to sell books to write full-time when you haven’t the time to write. If we’ve got day jobs this carved-out writing time becomes a catch-22. If we’re full-time authors that dedication is easier. We always have our phones - a tiny laptop in our pockets.

But it’s still time we must dedicate away from other things. Yes, this can be sacred, guarded, beautiful, and fun time. When we want to write behind our keyboard we’ve got to carve the time. This method is for writers with day jobs, writers with kids, writers with crazy schedules, and writers with short attention spans. Now, if you’ve got dedicated, large blocks of daily time for writing behind a desk, then maybe mobile isn’t your thing. It’s slower than keyboard-typing (although it will get faster with practice), but once you become a convert it will change your writing life. Why not put all those moments to good use? We’re on our phones all the time - thumb-typing our way to mental jelly. It’s no wonder so many writers get stuck in ruts, believe in the false notion of writer’s block (writing’s a vocation, like house-building - there’s no carpenter’s block), and spend years re-working books that don’t materialize. We set-up ourselves in the least creative atmosphere to perform our most creative work. What are we doing as we toil behind a keyboard? Not moving. Let’s talk about the creative, subconscious brain a minute: The creative parts of your brain are built to come up with its best ideas while in motion. I believe writing rules are made to be broken, we don’t need multiple drafts to write a good book, and last (but most productive) is we don’t have to sit behind a keyboard all day to call ourselves writers.īefore you hide your eyes and click-away hear/read me out. I’m a bit of a rogue when it comes to writing.
