How to Conquer Writer’s Block: Tip 84
DIGITAL SMARTS:
Social media and email get in the way of my own creating, not to mention daydreaming, which is so important for story-making. I think it’s useful to be digitally smart, in terms of getting back in control with a plan. I like Jane Friedman’s suggestion (janefriedman.com) to organize your writing life by making some choices:
(1)Focus on reading or creative work first thing in the morning, for 3-6 hour stretches or
(2)Stay off email for 8-12 hour periods—sometimes 24 hours or
(3)Stay offline after dinner.
I choose #1; how about you?
