Stale Writing Week muddles on to Day 6

Stale Writing Tip: Day 6

If you are a religious person, think of the creation. God didn't stop creating on the sixth day, he lined everything up and took it all to His main character, Adam, and had him name everything. What would your main character name your villain? Your love interest? And every character in the book? Now, go back and have the main character tell you why each name was chosen.

Go for a walk.

It may not be Friday but it is Day 5 of a Stale Writing Week

Stale Writing Tip: Day 5

Think of the last five days as a work week. It's been a bad week. Time to look forward to the weekend. Fridays are always the best day of the work week. Why is that the case for you?

 Humor in the office? Try telling a joke or better yet, writing one.

 Friday after work mean cocktails…for you? Not recommended while trying to write, but if what you've been doing all week isn't working, it's time for a change up.

Dang that Stale Writing Week continues...

Stale Writing Tip: Day 4

Still stymied? Attend a writers group, or start one, and take care to compliment others on their writing. (It helps if you are honest here, but stretching the truth to help another feel good about their work is allowed in this case.)

Stale Writing Week Hump Day

Stale Writing Tip: Day 3

That quagmire still looking a bit cloudy? Warning: Day 3's cure is dangerous. Repeat Day 1 but with a different friend. Try chatting with a friend that is recovering from surgery. They need your brand of cheering up. Go for a longer walk with company. (If you choose to take your dog, make sure he/she is wearing his/her listening ears.) Now, try out that last scene with your dog or the friend you are walking with as the main character. (Not recommended if the scene was a sizzling sexy scene.)

---Local law enforcement may take steps in the later case and haul your butt/bottom/a--/tail/rump/posterior/derrière to the tank to cool off!

A Week of Stale Writing continues...

Stale Writing Tip: Day 2

So, you say talking with your friend didn't get you out of the quagmire of flat writing. Cure # 2 for day 2 and this one you may want to repeat after your first exposure to it.

Go walking with a friend. (The endorphins need more than your writing cave to bounce around in.)
