Snore alert! (My process hows and whys)

[csinman]

I had a very spotty output schedule until I discovered this magic fifteen minute cycle. I have no idea if this would work for anyone else (and in truth, I don't know if it actually works for me, since I've never sold a book!), but since I regularly get drooling green jealousy from some friends when I post my higher wordcounts, I figured it wouldn't

I've GOT to try that with my drawing! It makes so much sense. We have, after all, spent most of our childhood being trained to operate by the bell. Our teachers each had only an hour to run us through exercises so a lot of them were in 10 to 20 minute chunks...

I think it might work for more people than we might realize.

I'll let you know what my results are.

I'm a big fan of bus writing. Before I moved that was the only writing time I had -- 20 minutes each way. It's amazing how much you can get done.

But I also think the playlist is a big deal. One trick that I used when I was in school is that I would always have the same music playing whenever I was studying a particular subject. Then, right before a big test, instead of frantically reviewing my notes, I would listen to that same music, and it would put my mind into the right mode. I did the same thing when studying for the CPA exam, so forevermore, Frank Zappa = managerial accounting. (He's either spinning in his grave, or laughing his ass off over that, I'm sure.)

But however it works, way cool, and keep it up.
