6 Summer Activities for Writers

Summer is officially here! Here are 6 great summer activities for writers currently working on a writing project.

Start a new project!

Write something new this summer. It can be anything from a random essay using one of our summer writing prompts or even an outline for a new novel. Give your mind a rest from your current project and find inspiration for a new one.

Revise your current project.

If your writing project is actually finished, summer is a great time to do some self-editing. Go back through your manuscript and tighten plot lines, build your characters, etc.

Submit your writing project.

If you don’t feel you can do any more self-editing for your writing project, then maybe it’s time to start submitting it! The summer can be a perfect time to get the publishing process started on your new book.

Read a book.

The summer season really is a great time to get some reading done. If you don’t have a summer reading list together yet, make one!

Build your platform.

The summer is also a great time to work on connecting with your readers. This can include building your social media and creating a marketing plan for it!

Take a trip.

Get out and experience the world. Whether it’s a short road trip or a week-long getaway, break the routine and see something different.  If you’re lucky, you may find inspiration for your next great story!
