If you&#8217;re anything like me, you&#8217;re spending time outdoors &#8211; reading a juicy novel in a hammock while the birds chirp around you, tching up with friends on a walk around the neighborhood, dancing under the stars. Summer is such a glorious time of year.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you make it work for you when it comes to your writing?<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>[bctt tweet=&#8221;4 Quick Summer Writing Tips &#8221; username=&#8221;LisaTener&#8221;]<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Schedule your summer writing time.<\/strong> It&#8217;s easy for summer to roll on by rather quickly. As I mentioned last week, when you <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/jodieburdette.net\/lisatener\/2018\/07\/how-do-i-finish-my-book-7-writing-productivity-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">schedule the writing time<\/a>&#8211;and keep it sacred&#8211;you&#8217;ll be sure to capture some of that time for your writing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capitalize on the inspiration and harmony of nature<\/strong>. Write for 20 minutes before reading in your hammock. Or write after a work or berry picking, when your mind is in a relaxed, or even meditative, state. <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/jodieburdette.net\/lisatener\/2017\/09\/turtle-day-creativity-writing\/\" target=\"_blank\">Time in nature<\/a> is a huge creativity boost.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capture experiences right away<\/strong>. You may not have time for hours of writing, but you can at least capture an anecdote, such as an inspiring example of a principle you teach in your book. Jot it down while it&#8217;s fresh in your mind.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tap into community for summer writing<\/strong>. It&#8217;s easy to get caught up in summer activities and forget about writing. Make a commitment with a friend to keep focused and accountable. Set up a regular summer writing date (weekly or monthly), where you sit on the porch in the shade (or sun) and write in your journals or laptops.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Hey, it&#8217;s summer. I won&#8217;t belabor these writing productivity ideas. Go enjoy yourself.
