May 6 question - Do you have any rituals that you use when you need help getting into the ZONE? Care to share?
My Answer - I don't really have any rituals. The same thing doesn't always work for me. Sometimes the words freely and quickly - pure inspiration and emotion. Other times, it's like trying to pull myself out of quicksand. I just refuse to give up. People often ask me how I handle "writer's block". I simply say "Exercise, read a book, watch a good movie, listen to great music, travel – anything that gets you away from the work and relaxed. Then return with a fresh mind and renewed energy."
Today is also the announcement about the new IWSG anthology and contest. All information is available on the IWSG page listed above so be sure to head over and check it out!
How about you? Any particular rituals that help you get into the writing zone?

I definitely get that--sometimes being able to write is easy, sometimes it's not. Listening to music usually helps me to get in the mood to write.
Do something else and return with a fresh mind is good advice.
I love the fact that you just refuse to give up, that's really the way to go.
Yes, you have to do something else other than writing to get through or avoid writer's block. :)
What's been a huge help to me this year is my morning meditation. I feel 100% intuned. It's like a breath of fresh air every single day.
Your persistence is an essential component of writing -
Those are great rituals if they work for you. I definitely agree on a balance of all these. Hope you have a great May!

Super ideas. In the past, some have worked for me. Nothing much helps me unless I open the file. Amazing how that works. LOL Stay safe.
