What should I do?

Question

I want to sit and write a story for a few hours. What should I do to stay focused?

Answer 1

well just go out and bye a couple of piece Lilly's (get it come on that was funny)

Answer 2

Its not what is around you it is your mind. Think of a topic that you would enjoy talking about with other people or something that interests you. For instance a topic that catches my interest is polotics and war. I am actually writting this story right now about vietnam which is particularly my interest. E-mail me if you want the story to maybe give you some ideas. My stoy is only 16 pages so far so its not that good. But if you are thinking of a topic that catches your interest just start writting out of nowhere like begin with something that you just thought of and as you continue if you think the opening sentance should be different or you like your opening sentence build off of that without thinking. Write first about something that pops into your head and then think about it and expand. BTW if you want the story my email is

Answer 3

The more you write the easier it is for you to do. Keep busy journaling or blogging every day to keep the mind flowing. After a while it will be easy to sit down and write for hours at a time with out much effort.

Answer 4

“Mapping” I always find this technique very helpful to me. First, you have to know already what would you want to writing about. Then you mapping everything you know, or the ideas you want it to be. At the end, you will take all the heading of your map, one by one to write the story. You can take only few heading one at the time to write. Taking a break when you can’t come up with any more idea, or if you are getting tried or worn out. A good writing will take times to finish. Good luck to you.

Answer 5

fantasize and daydream..then right your thoughts and organize them into a story. make sure your comfortable and have something to eat and drink everything that you need...try listening to music but don't turn on the TV! i'm writing a novel myself and it is good....i have a friend who is 10 and she has written more than a 700 pages and keeps going....she used my technique, and she has a GOOD story. just keep relaxed....don't force your mind to anything....if you can't think of anything then take some stuff from what goes on in your personal life and blend it in with whats happening in your story.

Answer 6

Just sit down and start typing, something, anything! Its called free style where you just keep typing and all your thoughts come out. once you have your mind set on a plot come through with the story line then characters, purpose, etc. and then walla, you'll be done

Answer 7

If you enjoy what you're writing about, and you're really into it, it shouldn't be difficult to stay focused on your writing.

Answer 8

Always make sure you have eaten before you begin working. (That way your stomach isn't growling) Take a bathroom break before you begin. Find a nice quiet room to work in. Works for me when I have 2 write essays.

Hope it works for u!!!!
Good Luck!!!:)
