BIAW North and South

By the time I reach the fourth or fifth day of a BIAW, the energy and the power that comes from the muse can go one of two ways...

North, bringing lots of new ideas, excitement and words...

or South, like the well had totally dried up. There ain't no more words.

If you're heading north right now-woo hoo! You go! Drive those words to your goal destination. And further if you can.

Falling behind? The words just are not there for you? Try this. Just write nonsense Write something like 'I am the best, most prolific writer in the world.' Write it over and over and over. Eventually, your brain will kick in and your story should begin to flow again. Yep, this is positive affirmation time. Avoid any negative statements, even in your rambling. Writing, 'I can't write today.' is only reinforcing your not writing! So that's what your brain, characters, computer, even your soul comes to believe.

Belief is a huge, essential componant to being a successful author.

And in meeting your BIAW goal!
