My Own Writing Habit
During summer, I get used to writing whole morning. I would wake up about7:00 am (pretty early), have a breakfast, take a bath (because it’s bad taking a bath after facing the computer all morning), watch some National Geographic docu and then head straight to the computer to write, write and write. I usually spend about 4-5 hours everyday of my summer writing. It takes about 10-30 minutes to finish one post. I get to speed up the process once in a while by listing down topics to write. That way, I could go straight to writing another post after I’ve just finished one.
