bad habits for writers

Show Notes for Episode 22: 16 Bad Habits Writers Have

Alone in a Room with Invisible People is a podcast focusing on topics related to writing, revising and publishing fiction.

I, (host Rebecca Galardo) and Author/Teacher Holly Lisle took to asking a question of our listeners in the AIARWIP forums at HollysWritingClasses:

“What is/are your worst bad habit/s?”

Bad habits differ greatly but the common denominator is that they alllead to results that are not ideal for writing: mostly leading to NOTwriting.

For all 17 of the mentioned bad habits – ranging from listening to your Muse’s every idea to never finishing, to not being firm about a writing habit – Holly and I provide our experiences and tips for getting past the habitand back to the writing.

(If you have a bad habit that was not covered, join the free forums at hollyswritingclasses.com and let us know on the post in the forum for this episode.)
