Blowing Kisses To: Allie Pleiter

Posted on by

100_3099Our own Allie Pleiter presented “The Chunky Method” of Time Management for writers. She gave a simple and concise formula to help you discover your own “Chunk.”

                                                                                                                                            She further explained, knowing your writing style i.e. Big Chunk, Little Chunk, Mixed Chunk and how many words you can crank out in one Chunk, can help you calculate how long it will take you to complete a first draft, help you to be more productive, and help you to be the kind of professional writer that editors and agents are begging for.

                                                                                                                                                A big thank you to Allie for sharing this with Windy City. And we will all remember to “Respect The Chunk!”
