What strategies would you suggest for managing procrastination in the context of writing?
Penelope Douglas
Hi, Kadence! I struggle with this, but I do find that motivation often comes AFTER you work. Lol. If you can force yourself to stay at your computer and have one productive day, you'll be excited to feel that success again and keep the feeling going.
I'm also heavily in favor of routines and managing time. If I died tomorrow, would I be sad to no longer be around to scroll social media? No. I'd be sad, because I never got to the stories I wanted to write or spend the time I wanted to with those close to me. I try to be brutal about where I spend my time.
Set your atmosphere. Some YouTube ambience. Candles. Try writing the dialogue first. Your bag of tricks will grow over time ;) Good luck!

I just read that Tyler and Easton from Misconduct will appear in fall away spin-off. (Best idea ever). In which book will they appear? Please tell me it's Quinn. I love the idea of a love-triangle between tyler-quinn-lucas. Tylor may be the new guy who shows up in Next to Never or Hunter's new friends!!!!!!!! 2018 doesn't arrive soon enough!!!
