I would have a 15 minute challenge, and write as fast as I could and see how much I could get done. I'm pretty competitive, so even racing against the clock was fun.alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07122487552931794871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981151942514117993.post-90831360507550488052012-02-09T16:43:06.828-07:002012-02-09T16:43:06.828-07:00Love this idea!

I mean, heck, what was I thinking?! <br /><br />Since I do all my best thinking right before I fall asleep, I keep my iPhone on my nightstand and jot down notes as they come to me. Makes for a difficult time getting asleep, let me tell you, but then I have something to write about the next day.Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981151942514117993.post-49322890808535735602012-02-06T12:18:10.570-07:002012-02-06T12:18:10.570-07:00Congrats on the blitz, Lora.

One is to leave a bubble comment when I quit that tells me where I plan on heading next. <br /><br />I also take a few minutes when I'm not writing to let my mind wander into the scene, eavesdrop on the things my characters are saying to each other. Keeping your head in the story even when you're not at the keyboard can be a big help for a pantser. ^_^Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769602845843608247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981151942514117993.post-56473606820830770112012-02-06T11:20:03.112-07:002012-02-06T11:20:03.112-07:00From my experience as a newspaper journalist, the ...From my experience as a newspaper journalist, the most difficult times for writing are those when you are all set, with plenty of time at your disposal. My best articles have been written in a huge hurry, when I was horribly stressed by my editor's fierce scrutiny.unikornahttp://unikorna.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981151942514117993.post-65447042202008170492012-02-06T11:04:00.871-07:002012-02-06T11:04:00.871-07:00Oh, what a great idea!

This way I'm forced to quit after 5 minutes! I'm looking forward to seeing the results!<br /><br />Great suggestion, Lora!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
