ARE YOU SLOWING DOWN YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS?

Creativity is what sets us apart for the next 100 writers. Are you standing in the way of yours?

Think about it as you read further.

Many writers don't realize that actually saying they have writers block, actually gives them writers block.  At that moment you have participated in shutting down all the creative notions that you would of had. It says you have made your own bed, so now you move away from your pen and not write a lick.

When you participate in writers block you keep yourself from thinking, acting, and progressing in your writing. It's not something writers like, but actively participate in.

You have to stay true to your own creative process and keep it moving. When you do this, then it's full speed ahead and writer's block won't be on the brain at all.

Today; stay true, active, creative and positive in your creative process.

Remember, you are the only one who can slow it down.

ROCKING OUT YOUR LIT!

So much goes into writing each and everytime you decide to pick up your pen.  It can be a long boring process or a fun creative process depending on how your creative spirit comes out.

Rocking out your lit is a technique that we have develped to help writers have fun when writing. It's a technique that can make the process of your writing go smoothly and help your creativity explode into a story tree!

All you need is your pen, paper (no computer), your favorite tunes and nice area to work. Before you start to write, listen to your favorite song and listen to the words in the song. Now write six words down on your paper as well as still listening to your favorite song.  After the song goes off, take a look at all the words you have written down on your paper. Take those words and think about other words that are related or that may rhyme with that word.  Now build your story tree from those six main words.  After you have done that, then look at it and create a short story from one of those six story trees or all six.

Read the story back and think about how you can take parts of those six short stories and mesh them into your main novel or develop a totally new novel from the "story tree techniqe."

Today use this technique to overcome your so-called writer's block, boredom or just use it as you take a break from writing that great novel.
