“Get Organized” for Writers
0“Get Organized a
nd Sell Your Work” is the title of a conference workshop I developed for Kentucky Christian Writers Conference 2010. The handout used in that workshop is available for download here. Meanwhile, some of the content is included in posts on Blog4writers.
The reason a writer needs to get organized is so that he or she will have more time to WRITE.
- W is for Your Writing Place
- R is for Your Records
- I is for Your Intentions
- T is for Your Time
- E is for Evaluating Your Progress
Read each post and adopt some of the tips included. As you get more organized, you’ll find you get more done even if you can’t devote full time to your writing.
Get Organized: Time Management

“Write for at least one hour every day.” I heard this a lot at my first few writers’ conferences. Of course, writers will write every day. And, why only one hour? Shouldn’t you write all the time? The fact is, writing your content is not all you have to do. Besides knowing the writing craft, you must spend time studying the markets, scoping out the “competition,” researching subject matter, meeting other writers and editors, and keeping your efforts organized.
If you devote full-time to your writing career, you may spend as much as an hour each day doing these additional writer jobs. If you consider yourself part-time, organize your time, either daily or weekly, to perform each of the following functions. (more…)
The Time of Your Life by Mark Porter

Subtitle: How to Accomplish All that God Wants You to Do. Because this book was published in 1988, many people would pass it by. But, don’t do that! You’ll miss a wonderful study of time management from the Christian perspective
Also, if you came to this blog because you are a writer looking for resources to advance your career, you might be wondering why this book is featured here. It’s because I found it very helpful to me in managing my time as as a freelance Christian writer.
A chemical engineer and teaching elder in his church, Porter was a busy man. He was caught up in what he called the “scurry syndrome,” running from one thing to another without thinking about which activities were important and which were merely urgent. This doesn’t sound new to us today, because others have picked up on it. Many things that are urgent are not necessarily important.
Porter takes the reader through a study of how to turn mere activity into accomplishment. In fact, the book is designed to be used in a 13-week study. There’s mention of a study guide, but I have not found it anywhere.
Porter covers goals, priorities, spiritual gifts, analysis of current time usage, identifying time wasters, and planning. All is presented from a sound Biblical basis, making this book a valuable resource for the Christian writer.
This book is available for sale at ECS Ministries. I’ve searched Half.com with no luck, but I did find it on www.abebooks.com.
