What Consume Your Mind, Controls Your Life... 1. Imagine yourself writing: Imagine Yourself Writing. if you can imagine it, you can achieve it. if you can dream it, you can become it 2. Remind yourself the REASON why you're writing: Don't write, because other people said so. Don't write, because you heard it's a useful skill. Don't write, just because you want to say something. Write, because you genuinely enjoy it. 3. Commit to a daily goal: 100 words. 1 paragraph. 20 minutes. 1 draft. Whatever daily goal you set, COMMIT to it. No whining. No postponing. NO excuses. If you're going to make excuses, lower the numbers until you can. 4. Listen to music that fits your writing: Music kicks our mood for practically everything - from dinner dates at home to workouts. Yes, even writing. And it's especially effective if you're writing an emotional piece. Just don't choose songs that have lyrics in your native tongue, because that'll distract you. SO KEEP WRITING :D |

"improve you write better"? - I think you need to improve a bit yourself. What is the point of these?

I wouldn't say this will improve your writing per se, but it will instill discipline for keeping up with it which may lead to you getting better. So good advice mate!

Not really, but Joyce would have made a wonderful lyricist for an RIO/avant prog band. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Hi, Welcome btw ... challenging post! You're probably not going to like my response ... and my apologies if someone had to comment on your "translation", rather than the contents of your post. The "assumptions" made are strange for me, but at 70 and after being a writer for more than 40 years, it's hard to agree to anything anyone can possibly say about anyone's art and how they process what they do. For me, all of it comes from the visual area of things, and how I "see" it and "DESCRIBE" IT ... And now comes the worst part ... when you are merely describing your inner movie, your idea of "meaning" and "wanting to say something" is ridiculous, since you do not know what the next image is on your inner movie ... thus, writing for me is not a "mental exercise" at all, and rules do not apply ... and the sooner you get a handle on this, the better you can develop your own ability ... The main issue with "ideas" and what you describe? The smallest issue is total confusion in my experience!
