Warm Up
Call it warm up exercises or call it getting into the writer’s mind set, a daily free write is a good way to get started for the day. Just put the pen to paper and write whatever pops into your head and don’t stop until you’ve completed your page or time target. A page is good. It makes getting into whatever else you’re working on easier.
A good book that suggests a way to do your daily write is Natalie Goldberg’s Writing Down the Bones --freeing the writer within-- @1986. I suggest getting the book on tape version read by the author herself. This book is full of ways to improve your writing, to get in touch with your inner writer, and to enjoy the journey. Listening to her read and then stop and comment on what she just read is a delight. This is an excellent book on the “how to” of writing daily. Listening to Natalie will stretch your mind and your writing.
