The 10 Habits of Highly Successful Writers

[@SLOtsuji]

"Very few writers know what they're doing until they've done it." That is so wonderful!

[@ThewritingkingRichard]

"manage your time wisely" is most important for all of us who work from home. Great video.

[@AuthorKristenMartin]

Absolutely! Time management is key when working from home.

[@angellanakaye4008]

@@AuthorKristenMartin Thank you for these inspiration words

[@angelinojuniordocarmo9661]

I enjoyed these 10 habits. Kristen Martin covered the entire business of being a writer within few minutes.

[@AuthorKristenMartin]

Thank you very much!

To fight the greater fight, one must have the greater 'mind.'

[@imnothere6696]

I usually write on my day off since I'm usually tired when I get off work. I usually don't stop writing until I get to 1,000 words. Afterwards, I take a break.

[@HORSESNDOGS9]

That's great! Not everyone can write everyday because their brain power is spent by the time they try. Last time I challenged myself to write 1,000 words per session, I made so much progress! Helps to see how the story can progress and when you go back, it's practically cathartic to edit. Keep up the great work!

The thick skin one is so important. I wrote a lot through high school and the early part of university and I generally only let family and friends who heaped praise on me because it was so much better than what they could do or in a genera they didn't read or they just were two kind hearted to not say that it was wonderful. then some chapters off to publishers, got a stack of form rejection letters and one rejection full of wonderful constructive criticism that I was not prepared to take at all at the time. I stopped writing seriously for years though it was something I couldn't give up fully because I loved it too much. I've only recently started working on a novel seriously again and I've let some of the same family and friends read the first few chapters. many of them came back to say that it was really good and I'm having to poke them to more harsh about it. I keep telling them that this is my baby and I want them to tear it apart so I can make it stronger but most don't seem to get it. oh and the best way I think there is to develop a thick skin quick is to work in a call center doing customer support or perhaps something in the service industry. you kind of have to get a thick skin there

[@kyro-jaxxsonofkosmos23]

You have saved my writing! You have no idea how much your videos have helped me!

[@IrisMG]

"People are mean!" I learned that important lesson the first day of kindergarten! I'm still bitter haha

[@charliebrown2826]

Thank you, I couldn't understand why I kept loosing my flow. I was editing at the end of each chapter.

[@billyrichards8834]

I do that ALL THE TIME! It seems as if my BEST 'Creativity' comes right AT THE END. Than I go back and RE-DO IT! This is my FIRST book, so I'm 'learning' as I go, but it's taking me twice as long to finish than it should have. I'll know better the second time around. Keep an eye out for, "Aisles of Madness." A walk through the absolute madness of terror at its most HORRIFYING! At Jedd's motel, guest's never do leave unhappy; in fact, some may say, 'NEVER left at all.' ANYTHING you.need, just 'Axe' for it, Jedd is alway's more than happy to 'Meat' your needs. Remember, Jedd will put you up, but someone else--will cut you down. NEED A ROOM?

[@DannyCrocker511]

Really enjoyed this video. I tend to procrastinate and put off finishing my stories. you have given me a little inspiration to get myself back in gear. so thank you

[@billyrichards8834]

I'm a writer novice, and the one thing I've already learned is, "The book, absolutely ... will NOT ... write itself" Get on it, and GET-IT-DONE!

[@ParthToroneel]

Loved your video.... thank you so much Kristen. You just boosted up my confidence. 😊

[@zinouat6099]

Thank you!!!🥰

[@1966mek]

Loads of thanks for this video... :)

[@pastorrod6901]

Thank you, Kristen. You're so right. We don't know how to write a book until we've written one. I'm on my third book and still feel like a novice. This was helpful, Since this video is 4 years old, are you still writing/publishing?

[@billyrichards8834]

A writer is NOT A SUCCESSFUL writer, until what they WROTE ... becomes.

How do you get a beta reader?

[@fangfang3900]

[@weareuniqueforareason7503]

I'm in the process of writing a book and you just helped me a lot. Can you help me understand finding that team you speak of.

[@Samyrocksku]

is writing your full time job and have you ever tried self publishing?

[@truthspeaksgroup1569]

Very good tips

[@TexasMan77]

Simple questions, should i hand write and then type it out or type out right away? This may seem silly but does anyone use a typewriter to do their work?

[@literartilove2962]

TX Camper I think it depends on what works for you. You may initially jot down key points or dialogues that strike you at any time of the day, which usually happens to me! using a typewriter might be fancy at first, but when you sit to edit, I think MS Word might be easier, since you don't have to waste paper or painstakingly retype the entire page!

[@aqueen13]

I was one of those crazies that didn't like Harry Potter at first. The first book had so many grammatical errors that I could barely focus on the plot. She got better editors for her later books so I was able to enjoy those more. :)
