Quiver Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Quick question/discussion; what motivates you to write? What makes you want to write, and wants makes you start writing when you need a kick to get started? Do you have any rituals, or habits or tics you need to indulge to make it happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Usually, Timers. Whenever I really want to Write (Or just Have a good Idea) I set a Timer for an Hour and just Write. I'm not allowed to Stop until the Timer is Done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Quitecontrary Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Usually, Timers. Whenever I really want to Write (Or just Have a good Idea) I set a Timer for an Hour and just Write. I'm not allowed to Stop until the Timer is Done. This is so effective. I use the Pomodoro Technique myelf and instead of an online timer, I use an old fashioned kitchen timer. Work for 25 minutes, break for 5, then another 25 minute chunk. I also try to eliminate as many distractions as possible (like 17th, but it's really hard, so I use another computer to write which I disconnect from the net when I'm about to write. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WriteNowDave Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 My rituals are rather simple yet extremely difficult to obtain. Being a father of two young-ins and a wife who...shall we say... isn't very self sufficient, the only thing I need is time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
