Is consistency in writing necessary for a writer?

I think it depends on what kind of writing you're talking about. At Bubbles, and here, I try to write at least a post a day, just to keep my mojo working. But when I was in my poetry and short story stage, they would happen when they'd happen. Many of my poems were originally written on napkins.

I learned one thing from my experience. You have to be regular at what you do. ANd you have to enjoy it. That way you are going to be good at something. and also you learn more on how to do it effectively. that's how many people are learning.

I think it's important to do a post somewhere at least five days a week. I don't count MyLot and other social blogging sites and networks into that total. I get to those when I have time. I count only my own blogs. Ideally I'd like to post two a day -- one to my daily blog and one to another of my blogs.

I've always found that I write more and write better when I have a consistent schedule that allows me to it at about the same time daily. I think a lot of us thrive on a regular routine. Unfortunately that is not what I get.

I feel the same.Consistency is important in writing because that makes you connected to this art and you are able to write more productively if you are in a habit of writing frequently.

One thing that consistency does - whether it's writing on this site, posting on a social media site, etc. - is that it shows you're a leader. Just the fact that you are there, without fail... taking things seriously. It puts you in a different category than someone who just pops in whenever they feel like it. Aaaaaand that would be me when it comes to MyLot (so far :). But, the principle is still true. Seth Godin has some fantastic things to say on the topic of writing every day. Not just writing, but putting something out into the world every day. A site like MyLot is a good place to practice this. Just the act of publishing every day communicates something to yourself that you are a real writer, serious, you mean business. The more you do it, the more confidence you gain and you become a better writer much faster. I've been inspired by these concepts for a while but haven't applied them as much as I'd like. I suspect this year I'll be writing (and publishing) more and more. And you just might see me hanging around on here more and more (on places like MyLot but mostly on my blog)... In fact, my most recent MyLot post touches on this same topic :).

I think you have to be consistent as a writer if you really want to monetize it.

Depends upon your trype of job it's required though consistency have different defenition for people. Like journalist should writes every time while a normal bloger may do 2 times a day max. What you do don't let the consistency left behinds
