Pat Zietlow Miller talks about her process, or lack there of! Take away – everyone’s process is different. If writing in the morning isn’t working out for you, try writing in the evening. If being super organized is squashing your creative spirit, be a little more hap-hazard. Go with what works for you 🙂

We’ve all heard the phrase, quality not quantity, and in general I tend to agree. However, I recently read an article that suggested otherwise.
Herbert Lui’s blog post, Why Quantity Should Be Your Priority, makes complete sense to me – the more you do something, the better you become.
So with that in mind, I’ve set myself a challenge:
Every morning for the next four months, before I even brush my teeth, I will write a short story from a given prompt.
I’ve created a separate tab on the blog to share them, so please check in on my progress.
