Bit #8 – Signage
You are a professional writer! You write for a living! As such, your writing time is valuable and should not be taken lightly or put off until everything else is complete. Your writing time is a top priority and must be protected.
Part of protecting your writing time is alerting others that…
- you are writing,
- writing is important, and
- you should not be disturbed (except for extreme emergencies).
To indicate you are writing, create a sign to hang up so you are less likely to be disturbed (see examples below). Hang your sign in a visible location (even if that is on your back because you share a space with others).
Writing is contagious. Maybe your sign will inspire others to write.
