Closing 2012, I asked various groups of writers what their best attributes and habits are, and what enables them to meet their goals.  Here’s what they said:

• persistence/stubbornness
• creativity
• making lists
• support/writers groups
• tracking goals
• practicing manifestation techniques
• enjoying writing
• following a specific process

At core for most of the writers I talked with is the sense that we have to love what we’re doing, and we have to find the way we can most comfortably be persistent in that work.

What is your best strategy for writing? How do you make the progress you want, and create the results that keep you in writing?
