“Whatever you two are doing over there, keep me out of it.”
Most people who write for a hobby - especially the neurodivergent crowd - will write whenever they’re inspired, and many will be able to get an insane amount of writing done in one go, but then there’s a good while of writer’s block and low motivation/inspiration in between those bursts of creativity. You can see forcing yourself to write as something irrelevant to you; it’s just a hobby, so why burn yourself out forcing yourself to do it until it’s no longer fun?
The reason people say this, even for hobbyists, is so that you have some level of consistent progress; relying on random spikes in creativity or convenient hyperfocus isn’t a sustainable plan when it can either leave you burnt out after or leave you at a creative dead end for weeks or months between actual writing sessions
If you write consistently, you make progress consistently, so it’s good practice to make a habit out of using writing goals to keep you on track. Maybe you work best writing X amount of words, or maybe you prefer to write for X amount of time. Maybe you want to meet this goal every day, or maybe every few days, or maybe every week, or so on. I’m personally on 1000 words per week, and despite my autistic brain that thought I’d never be able to set and keep a consistent goal, I’ve been able to stick to it for nearly six months now. I also know people who are on 10 minutes per day, 100 words per week, 500 words every three days, 5000 words per month, etc
For me, being able to keep track of this not only means I get to see consistent progress being made, but it’s actually been really encouraging to see that word count go up so often and I’ve found that it motivates me to keep up with it. I’ve really enjoyed getting to work on this and having a minimum amount of progress per week really helps me feel like this is something real and something that’s slowly but surely going to be complete soon enough
Give it a try; say to yourself “if I want to achieve this goal, how long do I reasonably need to give myself to do it?” and have a go. After a few cycles it starts to register in your brain that, hey, you’re actually getting something done and being productive and watching that word count going up every day/week/etc! And don’t be afraid to change up your goal and your deadline if you think you’re not being challenged enough or if you’re starting to get burnt out on it - I’d consider it burning out when it’s consistently feeling less like a fun activity and more like a chore you have to do. It should still be fun!
Word Dieting Your First Draft
Here are two phrases you can cut without loss:
She began to run -> She ran. Rain began to fall -> Rain fell.
Should you avoid "begin to" altogether?
Well, no. Sometimes, when an action starts and is abandoned immediately, they clarify what's going on:
She began to walk home, but changed her mind after a few steps. He started to paint the fence, but thought better of it.
Cut "Look"
More often than not, your story will work just as well without telling the reader that the character is looking at something.
Looking at him, she nodded. -> She nodded. He looked at her and poured her a drink. -> He poured her a drink. She looked at the mountain which towered over the valley. -> The mountain towered over the valley.
Cut "See"
If you describe something, it is implied that the POV character sees it.
When she took another galnce at the book in his hand, she saw he was
Cut "Turn"
Do your characters turn towards one another before saying something? Turn before they move? People turn all the time - it's implied without having to describe it.
She changed her mind, turned, and hurried home. -> She changed her mind and hurried home. She turned to him and clasped his hand -> She clasped his hand.
Where turn + look are used:
He turned to look at her and nodded. "I agree that's true." -> He nodded. "That's true." -> "True" [even better!]
When to use "look", "turn" and "see":
He’d been hit by a knife as they escaped from the burned estate, a fact [——] only now seemed to notice.
...... Ohhhhhhhhhhh oooooooo
“That fucker… He actually did it! The big, caveman lookin’ sum bitch actually made a goddamn war bow. Jesus fuck, could kill a damn dinosaur with that thing!”
“That fucker… He actually did it! The big, caveman lookin’ sum bitch actually made a goddamn war bow. Jesus fuck, could kill a damn dinosaur with that thing!”
She stared down at the boy in front of her, his soft smile and blank eyes setting her teeth on edge. This was the first time she was meeting her future husband.
She wasn't impressed but, then again, he probably wasn't very impressed with her either.

“Just because you lick it doesn’t make it yours.”
“I disagree.”
“Licking me in full view of the public is highly inappropriate and embarrassing!”
“I don’t think you’d like the other way werewolves mark their territory, [——].”
“What are you… Oh. Ew! I swear to god, [——], if you even dare—”
“I’m not that uncivilized! Give me a break, babe. I’m just informing you that compared to the alternative, a little bit of affectionately possessive licking is a small price to pay, yeah?”
“Not in public it isn’t!”
