The process feels herky jerky, and I don’t get that surge of feeling right before I hit publish. It’s a process that takes time to work through and eventually the hope is we’re the better for it. I maximize those as much as I can, and when they strike, I get myself to a keyboard. Just remembering who I was.

it allows you to dump all the thoughts you have in your head out into a coherent plan, indicate which are just "ideas", which are in process, which require additional info, and much more -- you can attach notes, links, and pictures to any node, color-code your map, save to PDF/print/share -- I am just loving this tool so far!

Your mind isn’t a computer, and treating it like it can process data endlessly is a great way to ensure brain drain. Just like plants need wind to grow, writers need some reassurance that they are not just going at it alone each time they sit at the keyboard. Getting out of the house can be a big help. Great post.

It’s fun, but it’s not like I sit at my keyboard, occasionally throwing my arms into the air and squealing, “Wheeeeeee! I couldn’t find the heart to take someone on as a client who obviously gets no joy out of the writing process to begin with and who wants to learn how to enjoy writing. I’m writing!” Powered by frugal

Things I didn’t get done that day, emails I meant to send, bills I haven’t paid, posts I haven’t written, product launch process – they all keep me awake in the wee small hours. The good part of waking up then is that I’ll often write whole blog posts or emails in my head, and they’re generally quite good.

Now, when I say ‘don’t write’, I don’t mean you should take a break or get away from the keyboard for a day. It’s called sub-vocalization, which is a natural brain process we use while we read. I’m a pretty fast typist but it made me realise how unnatural it is to use a keyboard, or even a pen.

And then your only task will be to keep it that way, so that you never have to go through that crazy process of starting from scratch again. It would be much easier to keyboard it but I know it wouldn’t have the same effect as writing it by hand. I do feel much more comfortable with a keyboard than hand though.

I am not a freelancer as such but I do work from home and I’ve training my boss and colleagues to stop arranging meetings after 4pm (still working on that one), I’ve been forcing myself to step away from the keyboard and to stop checking work emails after hours. You have plenty of time left for that client. Eliza´s last blog.

I’m working on a novel, and the drafting and redrafting process means frequently revisiting material I wrote upwards of twelve months ago. This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis. Something similar has happened with my fiction writing.

MacJournal Shortcut MacJournal also features a keyboard shortcut, so every time I feel my idea will be pretty close to a blog post (as opposed to other types of ideas, like blog post series, guest post ideas, strategies or just interesting bits and pieces) I use this shortcut directly.

We can create temporary monopolies by making things so unique, interesting or valuable to charge a premium but it is a never ending process of constant innovation and added value. What follows is me thinking into my keyboard. That is an economic fact that can’t be debated. Real contact with real humans will always be valuable.

I’d argue that the mere process of getting degree, of getting educated, is an important one and teaches you how to think. I can say one thing, you sure have fire in your pen( or should I say keyboard) but I totally agree that all those years in college and unversity acquiring a B.A –Deb´s last blog. Powered by frugal

Many people take advantage of that openness on another level, which is to say we’ve all had trouble with copyright law and keeping our work our own. How do you deal with copyright infringements and people stealing your work? Nice to read about your writing process in-depth. I think that’s what we’re there for.
