SPA Girls Podcast – EP347 – The Power Of Writing Sprints

Are you struggling to get your words down each day? Why not give writing sprints a try? You can do them alone, however, you might find they work better with others like we did.
How it works:
Find a friend or a group and set aside a certain amount of time. Now break this into doable time slots. For example, if you had two hours, then the time could be 4 slots of 30 mins, or 2 times 1 hour each, or 8 times 15mins. Or any number that suits the majority. Sometimes it’s better to start small. It’s also a good idea to allocate time for a break at some stage.
The SPA Girls will chat for a while, do a couple of sprints, then have a bathroom break. We have coffee or lunch if we’re together, otherwise it’s straight back into it.
Listen to the podcast for more tips regarding:
- training yourself
- how to set up a sprint group
- the power of structure
- what length of sprint?
- top of the hour sprints
- tracking

Hi I just want to give you the credit for moving me from Apple iTunes to Spotify. I scoured iTunes for months, listening to various podcasts on Self-publishing. Yours was the first one I discovered on Spotify, which helped me so much. I listened to at least a hundred episodes in a couple of months. All were helpful in one way or the other. I can’t pinpoint why but SPA girls seem to get the complexities and the challenges a new author is facing. You also seem to be genuinely concerned. Just wanted to give you a shoutout before my book comes out next month. You were a big part of my journey.
PS: I love when you all laugh together.
Posting my website in the required field. Its still WIP
