Writing Tip #1: Your To-Write List

You have heard of To-Do lists, where the tasks pile up faster than you can cross them off, and it all feels like a chore and a bore?  Well, this is a list with a twist.  This is a To-Write list:  a list of story, article, and book ideas that you want to do, but don't have the time for yet.  On this list, let your manuscript ideas pile up, cross them off as you write them, and while the rest of your ideas wait for you, let them carry on like all items on To-Do lists do:  that is, breed like bunnies.  This way, you'll never run out of nor forget your writing ideas.
