Most of my time last week I spent reading someone else blogs. Most of them proved to be interesting and helpful. Did you have a situation when you are stuck and can not write anymore. One blog author has found an interesting post about
what to do to continue writing. Here is part of her post:
Do you know how to book end?
It’s a simple technique and one I find tremendously helpful, particularly when I’m stuck and would rather do almost anything than write. It works like this:
1.You decide on a task… complete a chapter or a blog entry, or…
You decide how much time you’re going to spend on a chapter, etc.
2.You call a friend, preferably someone who knows about writing and book ending, but it can be anyone who you know is on your side.
3.You tell them what you plan - “I’m going to spend the next 2 hours on chapter 6.” or “I’m going to finish my character sketch.”
4.You then perform the task or you don’t.
5.Either way, you call your friend back to close the book end and own the results you got.
I think the key is telling on yourself even if you don’t complete the task… or knowing you will. Somehow, creating accountability helps me get done the things I need to get done.
Did you have similar situations? How do you solve the problem?
