We know the old advice and it's advice that I've probably keep on going back to. If you want to be a writer, you need to write, everyday. Your butt should be in the chair and you should be writing. So, that's a habit. Everyday, carve out time, and you make it a habit in your life to write x amount of words everyday.
Now, let's say you don't have a novel to write on. Or your novel is in editing mode but you want to keep on writing. The best idea is to go to a short story or drabble or flash fiction (we'll get into that next week) and write either a small thought you had into a story or find a prompt. This will continue to make writing everyday into a habit you can continue.
