You are right. Last year, I wrote a monthly column for a chiropractic office. I was amazed how that demand increased my ability to sit down, quickly come up with a topic, and send it out.

Very inspiring thoughts, Lorin! I give myself deadlines, with daily and weekly targets. Without them, I’d stare into space and think of all the different ways I could have the characters resolve the main conflict 🙂

I’m going to have to do some more thinking about this whole concept of demand. I’ve formed some good habits as a writer, but that’s probably because I love the whole process of writing. I write first thing, every day. But I’m terrible about setting goals or deadlines. I just keep letting my story evolve. “Get into the groove of creating for a purpose beyond your own gratification.” That’s where I fall short, or maybe I just get scared. Thanks Lorin, as always, for making me think!

This is such a great point. I seldom complete anything without a deadline. I’ve tried setting my own deadlines, but I seem to know I won’t really use the carrot or stick on myself. I’m going to mull this over and figure out how I can best apply this principle. Great article!

Thanks so much for including me on your wonderful blog! Will be interested in hearing about folks’ experiments with demand. 🙂
