- If you're going to approach it that way, try starting
- out by writing a hundred words a day (and more, if the
- mood strikes you). Once you're able to do that on a
- regular basis, expand from there. A friend of mine
- ensures that she will write every day by promising
- to write a $100 check (to her favorite charity) every
- time she misses a day. She maintains that this
- method works very well for her.
