A Writers View

Go for a DRIVE!

Ok, so you’ve established a daily writing habit, you’ve kept you’re writing space special (but flexible) and you’ve curated a playlist that gets you into the write (see what I did there?) mood – but sometimes the plot just won’t work.

It goes on strike, it quits flat out, it slips into a coma and has to be fed on a feeding tube!

So, what then?

Well ladies and gents, this is the time to go and buckle yourself into your car (or hovercraft, whatever you fancy) and go for a drive! Go to the country, get yourself a drink, maybe some greasy food, go drive around in circles in an empty parking lot – whatever you want!

I’ve had many MANY breakthroughs while on my daily commute and many more on just doing some mind-numbing, endless, aimless driving.

It’s great, because it demands your attention (cause otherwise you could die) and offers you a ton of new colors and scents and sounds that will serve as a smelling salt of sorts for your passed-out plot.

So, if you’re reading this blog (thank you btw!!!) because you’re procrastinating on your novel – then this is your wakeup call to get out and go for a drive! 🙂

Happy driving – happy writing! 😀
