How to Jumpstart your Next Writing Session

David Parton
I have always enjoyed writing. Sometimes it’s a problem for me to simply sit down and write something. There are days once
I choose “procrastinating” over “proactive.” Golf shot things off is common with everyone. I am really precocious
in this area. ;)
Here are 4 areas to focus on to jumpstart your next writing session.
Concentration
Preparation
The 1st Word
Use your notebook
Concentration:
There are way too many a distractions. Cell phones ringing, blaring car alarms and unexpected visitors are simply a few things that can disrupt your concentration. It then becomes easier to justify not writing today.
The better thing to do to encourage creative writing is to do it a ritual. Find a good spot to write, maybe, in a quiet room in your house wherever
you wish be left undisturbed for a period of time. Set a time to work; a regular
time to write. Stick to it.
Keep reference books and materials close to hand.
Focus on one idea at a time.
View your next writing session as an opportunity; an possibility to do thing
you enjoy. It can be fun. And once
you are having fun common man ever has to tell you to “concentrate!”
Preparation
Once you have your topic: Google it. See everything you can online and offline related to your idea. Search the net for testimonials, reviews and articles simply about your topic. Brainstorm related sub-topics.
Give it a rest. Let your subconscious mind percolate and play with the information you provided. Get several exercise. Several of my better ideas move to me patch I am out walking about in the evening.
Getting Started
Where to begin? That blank page staring back can be intimidating.
Just dive right in there!
Type the word “The.”
Type the next word (the 1st thing that pops into your mind) and the next word.
At this point, quality is not important. You simply want to create a “flow” wherever
the words move easily.
Don’t finish to edit. Save all your corrections for the second draft. Resist the impulse to rewrite. That wish only interrupt the flow and is another way to avoid the task at hand.
If you are like me you wish have a 2nd, third and fourth draft. You have to get your 1st draft completed before your have thing
to rewrite! Stay focused.
Carry a Notebook
As a creative writer, you wish be “hit” by odd ideas and notions in the oddest of places.
Maybe you are stuck in traffic or brushing your teeth once
inspiration strikes.
You could wake from a dream and have a killer idea.
“ I’ll remember that.” We say to ourselves, but once
next we write there is no access to that memory file.
Just use a notebook. Jot those things down as they move to you. It only takes a moment.
Capture all your of your ideas as they transpire. Who knows? One of them may be the “Next Big Thing!”
