Life.

Going for a walk, I'll go for a long trek, no music or anything and let my thoughts be free.

I'll stop and take some voice notes along the way.

Then, on the walk home, I'll have some music on and marinate on the ideas.

As soon as I'm home; I want to get it all out of my system.

Sit at your desk and open your WIP. Even if you are doing something else. A sentence here and there can be all you need.

Recently, for me, I asked myself why I want to write.
I just wrote out my reasons for why I want to share words with the world and it really helped me work through my block and align with my values.

Then I became super motivated to express my inner voice once I was aligned with my passion!

I'll definitely have to try that!

I just sit down and write the first thing that comes to mind. It's not important if it's nonsense. My writing only stalls when i expect it to be good.

I focus on writing every day, and try not to worry about word counts. Motivated? Great, I’ll write 1k-2k, or edit a couple chapters. Not motivated? Too bad, I still have to write, even if I only get one poorly-written paragraph.

I'm an overwriter & have the opposite problem. 🫤
I keep a doc that's just...snippets. Little bits of dialog, scene descriptions, bits about a character & how they interact with others, what the world looks like, etc.
That takes the pressure off of writing A BOOK. You're just noodling around.

Ohh I do that with poetry. Yeah you're right it does make it easier but I'm at the point where I want to start finishing projects. Not necessarily a book but short stories for example. Anything beyond a single paragraph

Read. Read a lot.
