Ruth Ann Nordin heard that successful people often work only four to five hours per day, so she applied that standard to the writer's life. The key, Nordin writes, lies in setting priorities and sticking to them: "As a writer, the most important thing on your list should be writing one of your current projects. Whatever the word count is, try to get something written that day. Some people write on specific days … Just make sure that is the priority for those days."
