Pre-Writing Success
I’ve been doing this for some time and never realized it was actually a strategy to help spur your creativity to enter the zone of flow when writing.
Here’s what I do: A day, week or month before I write an article, I’ll create the TITLE for the article.
My subconsious mind then mentally creates the entire article or at least the main points of the outline of the article so that when I finally sit down to do the article — it was already pre-written for me. I usually have very little awareness of its creation or the mental construction of the article in my mind.
Have you ever done this?
How else can you get into a state of flow when writing?
Chris,
I sit down with an idea, brainstorm a list of more ideas, then write like mad.
Usually, I come up with a mess that I can then rework into a two or three articles.
Then I edit, edit, and re-edit until I have at least one polished article.
I can do this in about a day.
