Is there such a thing as project management for writers? I started wondering that this week while I was in an intro class to project management at the day job.Now, after the 2.5, (project management connection), day-long class, I am staring to see connections.
Each writing assignment we take on, be it a blog post, article, poem, greeting card verse, journal entry, billboard creation or Twitter post, each has an objective.
During the scope of what it is we do, we often create several requirements which our deliverables must have.
In writing, as in life or that job of ours, there are always issues.
We manage to work our way through the various constraints and potential risks all in an effort to reach various milestones.
More on each of the bolded items in future postings.
But for now......
- What is your objective as a writer?
- What are your requirements of the writing you do?
- What issues do you find yourself dealing with that keep you from writing?
- What constraints are involved?
- Write a 500 word story, article, bio or whatever, of your writing career (as if you have reached the various milestones you wish to reach).
