Comments on: The Ups and Downs http://www.routinesforwriters.com/2009/11/04/the-ups-and-downs/ helping writers write more Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:56:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kitty Bucholtz http://www.routinesforwriters.com/2009/11/04/the-ups-and-downs/comment-page-1/#comment-1318 Kitty Bucholtz Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:10:46 +0000 http://www.routinesforwriters.com/?p=1682#comment-1318 Shonna, you crack me up! John laughed. Stephanie, yup, I was handwriting because I've read so many articles that it helps connect the creative dots in your brain. But it took me 2 hours to type what I'd written. Yesterday - my Wednesday - I used my AlphaSmart instead, and in 3 30-minute chunks I wrote 2394 words! Guess what I'll be trying again today?! :) Keep plugging away, Steph, a few words here and there. Even if you get pasta sauce on the paper as you write while you cook dinner, you can still go type it later and throw the paper away! :) Shonna, you crack me up! John laughed.

Not because the story won't come. Life has erupted around me and insisted I pay attention. :) The good news is that when I do make myself write, I have something to say. I haven't reached the point of not knowing what to write next. I am having an awful time getting my words written. Not because the story won’t come.

You can do it. Question: You are handwriting and then typing? Why? Does it help you produce more? Get your imagination sparked quicker? Just curious. And others might want to know, too. Go, Kitty!
