When AWM went to the Romance Writers of Australia conference last year, one of the most interesting sessions was about maximizing your productivity with American writer Maisey Yates. Given Yates somewhat terrifying inspiring levels of productivity since she sold her first book back in 2009, it made for an interesting session.
This morning we logged onto twitter and found a series of Maisey’s tweets that really should be adopted as writing 101:
Writing advice from Maisey: always write the next thing. If you’re waiting, write the next thing. If you get rejected, write the next thing.

If your sales suck, write the next thing.

Publication isn’t the finish line. It’s the start of another leg of the journey.

If you’re interested in seeing some of Maisey’s thoughts on productivity, protecting your writing time, and writing 28+ books in the space of five years, you can find some follow-up notes on her blog: Part One and Part Two.
