Buried in Briny Bay by Bobbye Terry<\/p><\/div>\n

Welcome to our bi-weekly posts from guest columnist, Bobbye Terry. I so appreciate hearing about the life of a working and experienced writer from the trenches. After you read Bobbye’s post, we’re curious to know: <\/span>What is your secret to being prolific?<\/strong><\/span> Share your thoughts with us! Thanks!<\/p>\n

*^*<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello, wonderful readers. It\u2019s my turn once again to speak about what\u2019s on my mind about the writing craft and the secret to productivity. To me, being prolific is like a runaway train that still knows where the station is. It may be going at breakneck speed but it\u2019s on a set of rails and it knows where to stop. I\u2019ve discussed the topic extensively with my characters and they have gratefully allowed me to share our secrets with you. To help us, I\u2019ve used a few quotes from notable people. To me, and the characters who share my brain, being prolific is a combination of the following things:<\/p>\n

Having a vision<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will be brief here because this will be one of my future topics which I\u2019ll explore more deeply at that time. For now, let me say that your vision should be easily expressed in simple terms and in as few words as possible. It has to be something you can keep in the forefront of your mind as you work every day.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is an example of one of the most famous vision statements of our time from John F. Kennedy: \u201cI believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon, and returning him safely to earth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As you can see, it\u2019s short, specific and crystallizes a desired future state. It was also realistically obtainable.<\/p>\n

Setting goals<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to think of goals as baby steps toward the vision. Napoleon Hill said, \u201cA goal is a dream with a deadline.\u201d So, first think of a goal as something you desire to attain. Setting a goal because it was arbitrarily set by someone else isn\u2019t a goal\u2014that is<\/em> a deadline. Your goal is something you strive to reach because you wish it to occur. You need to quantify that desired outcome by setting time parameters for accomplishing it. They have to be realistic and attainable. It will require using all your resources as outlined in the remainder of this article.<\/p>\n

Excessive Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have always been known for having extra doses of energy. When I was younger, I practically ran everywhere I went on foot. Now my movements have slowed, but my brain is on 24\/7. Even when I\u2019m asleep my brain is processing plot ideas. In fact most of my best ideas occur while I\u2019m sleeping. Ben Stiller was quoted as saying, \u201cI have a lot of nervous energy. Work is my best way of channeling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener.\u201d Likewise, I work long hours at my computer to still the racing muse. How do you get an abundance of energy? By staying on track with your passion and never letting up as you set out to achieve what you have planned.
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

Staying healthy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing can derail your plans like poor health. Remember that all work and no play\u2026 well, you know the rest. Make sure you take out some time for you, and during that time out, tend to keeping a daily routine, eating well-balanced meals, exercising (okay, I could use more of that!), taking all medications as prescribed (if any). Make sure you also take time out to read other works of fiction. You need to stay on top of what\u2019s being published and what readers enjoy.<\/p>\n

Being Committed and Staying Focused<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you set your goals, you have to be committed to follow them through to completion. That means don\u2019t stop in the middle of a novel and go on to another project leaving the first unfinished and unloved. Once you\u2019ve been working a few years, you may find you can stop one project to attend to one that needs to get out the door faster, But if you\u2019re committed and focused, you will come back at that point and complete the other book. For newbies, no shortcuts. Also, word of warning: learn how to write one genre before you genre hop. An established author can move into more genres, but he or she has earned that right. Earn your stripes first. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Determination\/Tenacity<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the end, I think it all comes down to determination and tenacity. If you are like a bulldog with a bone, you\u2019re more likely to make it to the promise land. As Thomas Huxley said, \u201cPatience and tenacity are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness.\u201d<\/p>\n
