Well, For me there are a number of ways. For example, today I listened to some instrumental music by Clint Mansell and that got my creative mind flowing. And I was able to stay that way for atleast two to three hours. Another motivator today was reading some poetry of mine and also others that were posted online.
I've been also looking for other ways to help with writing my novel and I think I found one. To put it down on a storyboard. I got most of it in an outline and in my head, but I think it will be helpful to lay it out on flashcards. That way I can visually organize it and move things around if need be. We'll see how it turns out but I'm staying positive through and through.
Hey, thanks so much for following my blog.
ReplyDeleteI also use music to keep me focused on what I'm writing.
:-)
Your welcome! And thank you for following mine. Wanted to start looking for other writers like myself.
DeleteYou had a lot of good information on your blog. Keep it up! I especially like the deadline clock you have on your page. I will have to post one up for myself to help keep me focused and on track.
Hi Scott! Just wanted to say thanks again for your comments on my blog, I'm looking forward to following yours. Best of luck with your writing goals!
ReplyDeleteHi Scott, I couldn't agree more about doing an outline. I think it really helps with knowing where you are going in your writing. My outlines can get very detailed and then very messy when I change them all the time.
ReplyDeleteIt really does Aderyn. In the beginning..I never used outlines. I absolutely hated them. I just wrote out my work as it came to me, but there never seemed to be an ending when I did it that way. Now, I love doing outlines. They help me so much! Just got to keep on having an open mind about these kinds of things.
