What do you do to prevent yourself from being distracted, and what do you do when you hit a block on something in a book you’re writing?
Well, sometimes I have to just close the browser (and the like fifty tabs worth of material I’ve found on reddit) and turn off the internet for a little while… Sometimes it’s done by setting daily goals for myself (wordcount wise) and not letting myself go do fun things—video games, etc.—until I’ve hit my wordcount.
Motivation isn’t a huge problem for me. I keep coming back to the idea that writing, and telling stories, is what I like to do most in the world. Yes, it can be tough at times. It is work. But unless I’m writing each day and creating something, I feel like I just haven’t accomplished anything.
As for writer’s block, I did a couple of post on that already. Here and here .
What games do you play, xbox or PS3?
Both, but usually not online. I do it to unwind, and so getting yelled at by team-mates is not really high on my list, nor is the stress of being forced to compete against other players who have a LOT more time for such things.
Right now, playing the new Magic The Gathering game on Xbox and really liking it. Big improvement over the last one, which was okay.
