You’ve probably given at least a little bit of thought to how you want to start a writing session.
Maybe you gather together specific writing supplies, like your pens and notebook. Perhaps you always play the same music to get you into
the writing zone. You might always have a hot drink to hand, or even a favourite snack.
All those things can be great ways to signal the start of your writing time.
But what about the end of your writing session?
If you’re like me, and a lot of writers, you probably find that you often just stop. You hit your word count, you finish a section, or your timer goes off to remind you to start the next thing.
You might not pause, even for a few seconds, to wrap up your writing session.
That’s not a terrible thing! It’s far, far better to write and then leap straight on to your next task if the alternative is to not write at all. Sometimes, writing just has to squeeze in around the edges of everything else.
However, if you do this often, you might find it’s harder to get back into your writing next time you sit down
to work on your project.
Wrapping up a writing session effectively doesn’t need to take long. I wouldn’t spend more than five minutes on this (unless it’s an unusually long writing session) … and you might
spend literally seconds.
So let’s go through a few different ways to finish off your writing session. We’ll start with the super-quick ideas – even if you don’t have a whole minute to spare, these will work for you!
