Writing Tracker – Week 11 (March 11 – 17)
Writers write. That’s the bottom line. Last week was definitely my weakest week in terms of time and output in 2018. It wasn’t planned. I just didn’t set aside enough time to write and, when...

Writing Tracker – Week 10 (March 4 – 10)
Writers write. That’s the bottom line. Last week, I wrote everyday, continued my streak of thousand-or-more-word days to 10 before taking a breather on Saturday. I started the week working on pieces for Christianity Today that...

Writing Tracker – Week 9 (Feb. 25 – March 3)
Writers write. That’s the bottom line. For this week, I’m making a switch. I’m publishing my Writing Tracker on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. There are two reasons. First, it makes more sense because it’s closer...

Writing Tracker – Week 8 (Feb. 18 – Feb. 24)
Writers write. That’s the bottom line. Last week, I wrote the fewest days of any week so far in 2018. I just didn’t get to it last Sunday, and then this past weekend I was...

The Writer Is __________

Writing Tracker – Week 7 (Feb. 11 – Feb. 17)
Writers write. That’s the bottom line. I’m realizing that I definitely write more in the middle of the week than on the edges. Weekends have actually proven much tougher for me to dedicate to writing...

Writing Tracker – Week 6 (Feb. 4 – Feb. 10)
Writers write. That’s the bottom line. I wrote a fair amount last week, but slowed down in terms of published output. It was the first week I only posted three pieces to my blog, though...

Writing Tracker – Week 5 (Jan. 28 – Feb. 3)
Writers write. That’s the bottom line. I wrote more last week than in any other week of 2018 so far, despite taking Saturday off. The sum is due in large part to a splurge in...

Writing Tracker – Week 4 (Jan. 21 – Jan. 27)
Writers write. That’s the bottom line. Last week was the first week of 2018 in which I took days off. This was for personal reasons, including attending my sister-in-law’s wedding. Weddings are such fun, beautiful...

Writing Tracker – Week 3 (Jan. 14 – Jan. 20)
Writers write. That’s the bottom line. My writing followed a kind of bell-curve last week. I didn’t start very strong, with a couple long days toward the front end of the week, but things picked...
