# The Writer week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/writer-week/

A weekly schedule for writers: write for two hours every morning at 07:30, edit for an hour after lunch, read for 45 minutes in the evening and pitch or submit on Friday.

## Why it works
- **Writing first** gets words down before the day interrupts.
- **Editing separately** keeps drafting from turning into rewriting.
- **A weekly pitch block** makes sure the writing finds readers.

## Make it yours
- Count words instead of hours? Put the target in the block title, e.g. "Write · 800 words".
- Weekend writer? Move the main block to Saturday and Sunday mornings.

## Questions

**How much should a writer write per day?**
Many professional writers aim for a fixed time or word count daily; what matters is that it is the same every day.
