My Writing Process

​How I write:
Sit in a room alone with writing equipment, prepared to create. 

Stare at the paper and write nothing. 

Wonder why I'm not writing

Wonder why I'm not having any ideas

Stress that I've lost my ability to write

Realize that writing is all I've ever wanted to do and I'm nothing without it. 

Hear the voices of people who told me to give up

Hear my own desperate plea to God for inspiration 

Hear my loved ones who have cheered me on to chase my dream

Hear the naysayers argue with my loved ones as to why my writing is worthless

Hear my loved ones tell the naysayers eat it cuz I got talent

Hear the naysayers  promise to lay the smackdown on the loved ones for being stupid 

Hear my loved ones threaten to rip the naysayers lungs out if they say anything else

Hear God say "The voices in your head are arguing, and you're just sitting there???"

Write down what the voices are saying

Spellcheck 

Grammar check

Hand in first draft

Drink until the voices stop
