Ways to Keep Your Momentum Steady (Writing)

Ideas are just simply ideas. Until execution is performed, then and only then you can feel the glory of its realization. There are times that words and thoughts would just come so easily, flowing, smooth and unrelenting. There'd be times also that ideas and thoughts are like forever jammed in the back of the head, so difficult to untangle to translate into writing, so impervious, it's like there's a disconnect!

There are common denominators when it comes to writing. Books and the infinitesimal articles over the internet offer the same sound advise over and over. Reality check, for those unsung writers and bloggers, we follow the free-lance style -  most of the time, the spur of the moment of what's hot and what's on the mind-ready to deliver kind of dish.

I gathered some odd ways to keep the momentum flowing in writing consistently.

1. Listen to Jazz Music (with your earphone plugged)
Why did i say this? Because this kind of melody has a soothing effect in the brain. It won't distract your writing skills from diverting to the songs.

2. Do it in Your Bed
Get your laptop, your blanket and a couple of pillows to support your backbone as you enjoy the comfort of your bed

3. Review Your Notes
Keep your note taking app handy, may it be on your phone or on your desktop, your tidbits of info regarding ideas must be always at hand.

4. Get Full
Before heading for a writing session on your laptop, prepare yourself, make sure you're stuffed already so as not to disport your imagination to your craving for food.


5. Watch Your Time
Getting a timer keeps you alert and focus. The task at hand - writing your post is as crucial as getting the right lapse timing in a swimming competition.


The saying "So Good 'till the last Drop" is applicable when you're at wit's end in trying to get pass through the cadence between your train of thought and your fingers tapping the keyboard, -trying to match the pace in transcribing the awesomeness of your mind, of your imagination, of your eagerness to let those words come to life through writing.
