Vanessa Van Edwards stops writing mid-sentence each day so she can pick up the next morning without losing momentum. She writes from 9 or 10 am, finishes her main idea by early afternoon, then researches before starting something new.
My good writing day starts the last 30 minutes of the day before. I like to end mid-sentence or mid-thought. I find that if I end a writing day with a punctuation mark, you know, like, okay, like that chapter is done, or that idea is said, the next morning is like starting energy that is required is so much harder because you're like, oh, new chapter, new page, new concept, new idea. If I have done a good job the day before, try to like stop mid-sentence of something that I'm in flow with because then my perfect writing day is I'm like, oh yeah, yeah, right where I was in flow yesterday, I'm just picking it right back up. I can even just finish this sentence. So first hour or two is like flow. 9, 10 o'clock, and I'm like, okay, finish the concept, grab a coffee or a matcha, and then I'm allowed to start a new concept. Usually to start writing for me, um, like a new idea or concept, I have to do a little bit of research first and then right back into it. And then usually I'm done by like 2.
