Tips on writing...

I found myself thinking that a little non-fiction might round out these posts nicely when I opened my journal and saw these short but sweet lines:

1.
Stop before you are done and start where you left off.
Repeat often.


2.
After your first twenty minutes of writing you'll want to sit back
and go for coffee; get a little 'reward' for those words. DON'T!
This is when you'll be at your best. Use it.

3.
If you need a tool to break through Writer's Block try this sledge hammer: list 10 verbs, then add 'ing.' Then add 'not' in front, ie. not running. Choose and go with it.

One and Three have helped me out more than I care to admit. Number Two I should use more often.

Is that some coffee I hear brewing...
