Developing Effective Writing Habits

Andrew Price of Blender talking about the seven habits of highly effective artists.

​Andrew Price’s video listing the seven habits of highly effective artists has great insights you should start using immediately.  He’s talking about practice, not craft, so any artist will find his tips useful.  

​Since it’s also thirty minutes, I’ll summarize.  

1.  Do art every day.
2. ​Produce more work, not perfect work.  
3. Steal.  But instead of stealing from one, take inspiration from many.  
4.  Don’t just practice.  Practice conscious learning.  
5. Know when to take a break from work to return with a fresh perspective.  
6. Ask for feedback.
7. Create what you love.  To keep motivated, choose subjects you are interested in.

But making lists is easy-- I’m a compulsive list-maker so I should know.  It’s making these habits work for you that gets hard.
