Answer 2

According to How to Write and Sell Your First Novel by Oscar Collier and Frances Spatz Leighton, you should set a goal of typing 3 pages a day, one side of the page, 12-point type, double spaced on plain white paper. You should have a one inch margin all around, except on the left, which should be one and a half inch wide. You should get a average of 250 words per page, give a little, take a little.

If you follow those directions, 3 pages day; after 3 months you'll have a novel-length book. But then, that depends on how long your novel will be :)

Answer 3

I am a story teller, writing is difficult for me, so it is a slow process. I write at least fifteen minutes a day, someday hours, others I am re-reading six hours a day, trying to correct flow, and managing corrections. When I drive, sleep, any down time, I rethink my stories. What I am saying is that, I try to live my stories, and find that writing comes from the heart, and time is irrelevant. You have a life time, nothing can be that pressing, unless you are writing something that is time-sensitive. What is destined is, by way of blind faith!

Answer 4

Just try writing everyday for like 1 - 2 hours

Answer 5

Perhaps Hemingway, when asked how often one should write if one wished to be an author, put it best:

Write yesterday, write today and write tomorrow.

It depends, I guess, on how much you really want it.

Answer 6

If you are short of time, keep a pocket size note book handy to jot down notes to use when you do have time to sit down and write. I think the quality of your writing is more important then the quantity. Best wishes!

Answer 7

There is already story called SPEAK. If you want to complete your story, write at least 15 minutes every day.
