Well, I’ve got an option for you, my friends.

Sound Like You (Writer’s Quick Tip)

They say that every good writer has his or her own voice- that with the really good ones, you can tell who it is by reading them, even if you’re not told who’s writing.

That’s important to remember. You’re supposed to have your voice, not somebody else’s.

So the quick tip for today is to love your own writing voice, and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t sound like the voice of another writer.

You will never be as good at being them as you can be at being you.

So, be you, with all of your heart…

Play It Loud…

As I noted in “Hush, Hush”, my 5/17 post, sometimes you need to keep things quiet so that the sounds around you don’t distract you from your writing.

Sometimes, on the other hand, you need to take the opposite approach…

There are times as a writer where having theme music can be a help to your art.

  • Writing an exciting scene of combat or a chase scene? Get yourself some suitable music and find out if it makes your fingers fly faster across the computer keys.
  • Find yourself some low key music that you can play at a background volume and play it when you write. You may find that you condition yourself and that, after awhile, that particular music signals your unconscious that “it’s time to write now…” making the process come easier.
  • There are certain types of sounds and music that stimulate the creative centers in your brain, supporting your ability to write and write better. (One company producing these is Brainsync.) Check these out and see if they work for you.
  • And some people just write better with sound around them. Make sure to choose the particular sound that speaks to your Muse.

So the question is “Are you someone who needs sound to write or silence (or both)?”…

Once you figure this out, you can alter your environment to support your inner Writer…

Do Something Physical (Writing Quick Tip)

Studies show that one good remedy for writer’s  block is to do something physical. By doing something that uses different parts of your body and mind, it seems to break you out of a pattern of mental grid lock, and the enhanced oxygen you get if you work up a sweat helps to nourish those brain cells.

Stuck? Push back that chair and go for a walk, pump some iron or turn up that funky music and dance with wild abandon.

Then go back to that writing and see what your activity has shaken loose…
