I'll write the next scene or chapter or whatever. I also use a timer. Sit down for 30 minutes and write. Do not stop. Do nothing else. I can do anything for half an hour.<br /><br />Thanks so much for letting us know about your cures - <br /><br />KateKate Austinhttp://www.kateaustin.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26977442.post-23304110470223755892012-07-13T10:03:59.629-07:002012-07-13T10:03:59.629-07:00Thanks Mae!

It puts me back into the flow of the story and gets me geared up to move ahead. If I'm starting something new, as long as I can get two paragraphs down, it's normally enough to propel me ahead.<br /><br />Great post, L.J.!Mae Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793475400166450815noreply@blogger.com
