While it might seem remarkable, many writers have penned far more than twenty novels. In fact, for a professional writer, producing a book a year is ideal. Anything less, and readers might lose interest and turn to other writers.

Article Body:
During a recent phone call, I mentioned that I had just completed the final revisions for my twentieth novel, Great Sky Woman. There was a brief silence, then came the question: "How in the world do you do that? Twenty novels!"
The truth is, many writers have crafted far more than twenty novels. For those of us in the writing profession, it’s not unusual. Ideally, a working writer should aim for about a book per year. Publishing less frequently can cause readers to lose interest and look elsewhere.
Successful, prolific writers share common habits, while those struggling often encounter blocks after their first or third book.
Here’s what successful writers do:
1. Write Daily:
Writers write every single day. It’s about pouring your heart and soul into the words. This regularity prevents creative stagnation and keeps the heart, mind, and fingers interconnected.
2. Read Daily:
Reading fuels creativity, expands vocabulary, and helps study plot and characterization. It entertains the subconscious, where deep work takes place. Never skip this vital step.
3. Set Deadlines and Quotas:
Establish daily goals. Writing just a page a day can result in a novel each year. It’s the consistency that counts.
4. Create a Writing Space:
Have a comfortable space dedicated to writing?"both physical (like a desk) and psychological (with music, art, or favorite objects). This can also mean writing at a specific time daily.
5. Have Specific Goals:
Commit to being a professional writer. Define yourself in this role and maintain this identity. This ensures you act professionally and consistently.
6. Ignore Negative Voices:
Everyone has self-doubt. Learn to quiet these voices through activities like meditation, Tai Chi, yoga, running, or martial arts?"anything that nurtures flow.
7. Commit for the Long Term:
Understand that dedicating an hour or two daily for years is what builds a career. Persistence is key.
8. Embrace Criticism and Rejection:
Complete your projects and submit them to editors and agents. Growth comes from feedback.
9. Build a Support Network:
Surround yourself with other writers, readers, editors, and agents. Gather feedback and collaborate with this trusted circle.
10. Possess W.I.T.:
Be willing to do Whatever It Takes (ethically) to achieve your dreams. Success hinges on persistence, hard work, and integrity more than on talent or connections.
