Monica Leonelle digs into the best literature on forming habits and shares the top strategies professional authors are using to make sure they write each and every day.

For writers who still haven't found their rhythm and don't have time for long experiments, tracking spreadsheets, or full pomodoros - establish a writing habit that actually fits into your life!
Bonus: This book includes the full 8x8 Challenge: Eight days to implement the very best shortcuts to writing more, eight minutes at a time! Get access to the live version and do the challenge with Monica herself.
Customer Reviews
Jump-start your writing career!
Motivation. Invigoration. Success.
This book really helped to change limiting beliefs I've had about writing, enabling me to commit even more strongly to writing. The 8-minute writing habit is a really good means for capturing that bit of time on the train or between tasks at work to create a few hundred extra words a day.
There is no fluff in this book. Every word is devoted to valuable information and it warrants listening to again and again. Great stuff!
Pure Gold!
Okay, so I'm on a Monica binge-reading fest; I'm borderline obsessed! It's all Monica all the time right now, and it's so awesome!
This is another absolute must read in the Growth Hacking for Storytellers series. The 8-Minute Writing Habit highlights the framework in Nail Your Story and will help you develop a writing routine that integrates easily with your life.
Once again Cindy Piller does a fine job with the naration.
Many great ideas, but my favorite takeaways are: taking your writing mobile, the plan c method, and using the method of descent.
Another winner.
Excellent motiviation to find time to write
I am always looking for a way to write, to work through those things that stop me-- and a quick read, like ordering a cup of coffee--but like a very good cup of java, one has to put the work into it.
I read the book first—then I listened to it. The narrator is Cindy Piller; her style was crisp and light--listening to audio is much like drinking wine—there are so many levels and flavors. This particular audio—inspired me even more!
Monica Leonelle is inspiring and has put the work into it--I've read her book on how she wrote faster she states she's on point to publish 17 books this year! (My jaw hit the ground). At this point I'd like to finish one or two!--this Book, the 8 min writing habit is geared for working people, and those with crazy lives. How do you write when there seems to be NO time. She introduces the 8 minute challenge.
If you’re like me—I was like hmm….can I really find 8 minutes? I can barely scratch out a few sentences in five minutes. She has an answer for that.
Be creative and recognize what blocks you.
Now I’m going to being cagey here—why, because I want YOU to listen to this book. I want YOU to discover what works for you and what may be stopping you. I will say this—the next part of writing 8 minutes a day is WHEN you write it. Let your writing be the FIRST thing you do in the day—and hopefully this small success will snow ball, and you’ll be inspired to do more.
I agree. (It’s worked for me!)
This audio is fantastic—and quick, especially when you are busy—and don’t have time to read it—but I suggest also getting the ebook so you can read it, and take notes. The ideas are easy to implement (and some of them take you out of your comfort zone)—but well worth the result. And you don’t have to do them all—find the ones that work for you. I’ve already told you mine: Write first thing. Something any writer has been told—but a good reminder.
Me, I’m going to listen again—
And get to writing.
Again I highly recommend this book—(and really, after you read and listen more than once) you’ll want to check out her other books.
