I need the ritual before I can focus enough to read.<br /><br />Graeme, exciting indeed.Few people have the constitution to survive a writer's life.<br /><br />Eugenia, someone once said they used to dream of reading people's minds, then got a Facebook account and discovered they didn't need to.

By 11am I'm ready to open up the latest project and make a start. I'll then work through until about 6pm so I can spend the evening reading. Who says a writer's life isn't exciting?Graeme K Talboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147746990011686351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-57373558428226244422012-11-04T01:54:18.631-05:002012-11-04T01:54:18.631-05:00I need to write away from home at least part of th...I need to write away from home at least part of the time everyday. Even though there's not that many distractions where I live, I'll go nuts writing in one space in my house all day everyday. Normally by late afternoon sometime I go to a cafe or fast food joint to do my work even if it's just over a diet cola for as little as a half hour.Steven Arellano Rose Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03874980314982333471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-57578171341570371192012-11-03T18:21:56.960-04:002012-11-03T18:21:56.960-04:00I don't know if you can call it a "routin...I don't know if you can call it a "routine", but lately what I do is before writing fresh material for my current project, I take out a three ring binder that has the story printed out to where I left off at, and write editing notes.<br /><br />By the time I'm finished, my memory is refreshed (because I can only work on my stuff on the weekend, and by the time the weekend rolls around, I've forgotten where I am plot-wise with the story) and I can start the writing process again.G.

It's easier for me to stay off social media when I'm in public. <br /><br />Charles, the problem I have with getting social media out of the way first thing is it's election season. I'm a political junkie, so I know I'll go down the rabbit hole if I click on any social media, because everyone is talking politics and I'm going to follow links and I'm going to comment. I do housekeeping after I've hit target wordcount for the day.KeVin K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14792797517571690942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-59578721713493329612012-11-03T11:37:37.463-04:002012-11-03T11:37:37.463-04:00That's a cool ritual!

Then I do a little Facebooking, check e-mail, then I think about writing. After a brief nap, I do a little more Facebooking and determine to be more productive tomorrow.William Doonanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540517192121681243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-3504319901679412972012-11-03T11:06:39.969-04:002012-11-03T11:06:39.969-04:00When I'm working at home.

Once I'm fully awake I will start writing. Doing rough drafting, then coming back after a break for lunch and a nap to do the polishing.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
