10% More…
I went to a meeting this morning and the speaker presented an interesting thought (this was on the topic of losing weight, but I’m always thinking writing):
What if you did just 10% more in addition to what you’re already doing? How would that change your results?
Pretty easy in terms of weight loss. I walk an hour a day and do about 20 minutes of weightlifting a day, of some sort, so those numbers are simple.
But what about writing? If it were you, how would that translate? Here are some thoughts: (bear with me if the math is off. We all know I truly suck. I’m trying hard LOL)
–one additional query for each ten you send out
–ten additional minutes of brainstorming or writing for every hour that you spend
–five additional pages edited for every 50 (or however many you may edit at a time)
–one more reprint market approached for every ten
I kept it simple, mostly because to do percents, I have to keep the numbers small (lol), but I really am thinking of how 10% more (per day) spent on my writing would be the most well-spent. So many possibilities.
How about you? If you chose to give 10% more to your writing, where would you add it and why? I’d love to hear….

It's pretty simple, really. I'm a writer who loves writing about writing, and sharing all the tricks of the trade with other writers. And when I'm not writing, I'm thinking about writing. I have a hunch you know what I mean :)
