I’ve been trying to write a short book lately. It’s been so long since I’ve written in this format that I’m finding it a real challenge. My pacing seems to be geared for stuff that runs over 100,000 words and Suzie’s House, which is generally between 500 and 1,000 words.
That and a slight rustiness had caused the process to slow way down. As a result I have to play game with myself to get any writing done.
Probably the best has been to allow myself to read only when I get so much written. I’ve also tried the snowflake method mentioned over at Romance Roundtable, plain old BIC-HOK (Butt In Chair, Hands On Keyboard), and have cut way down on my blog visits.
What about you? If you write, what do you do when it just isn’t flowing? What works best for you?
