Lie in bed with a pad + pencil on the floor next to you.
That's it.
Just lie there.
Allow yourself to doze.
Pretty soon you'll be writing stuff down, I swear to god.
NOTE: Your phone must be off and way the hell in the other room. No tweeting/checking email. This is an exercise in zen.

ReplyDeleteRight now I have serious writer's block -- I'm trying to write a very technical scientific paper. Somehow I don't think your method will work in my case.
ReplyDeleteBut in the name of experimentation I'm willing to try.
I DON"T BELIEVE YOU.
ReplyDeleteI do this all the time. My fiance thinks I've gone catatonic when he finds laying in bed, staring at the ceiling.
ReplyDeleteThat just makes me sleepy. And I can sleep ALL DAY LONG.

Deletealso, THE PENCIL.
