And since it's time for the IWSG post of the month, let me do that.
The question is, what do you do to get in the "zone" for writing?
I grab my notebook, pencil, and all of my notes and park myself on the floor with my legs stretched out. I never sit at my desk when I write. I'm stuck there with my computer all the time for my other jobs. Getting away from my desk gets me into the writing zone. Sometimes I'll take my notebook outside. My favorite place is to write is at the beach. What about you? What do you do to get in the writing zone?
Tomorrow is the big day! Excited that you are part of our anthology.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - at a desk all day makes it hard to write there all night as well.
It looks like people are enjoying the book, so I'm very happy about that!
DeleteHi, Sherry! I read your interview on June's site and left a comment. Blog moderation is in effect and therefore my comment is awaiting approval.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention over there that it must be very exciting to do historical research based on the setting of your books because, the more you learn about the time period, the place and the people, the more ideas spring to mind for ways your characters can interact.
It's interesting that the writing ideas flow when you leave your desk and stretch out on the floor.
Enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Sherry!
Thanks, Tom. As always, I appreciate that you visited the additional site and left a comment.
DeleteI definitely write better when I'm not at a desk!
Sherry, congratulations on the new release. Sounds like a fascinating read. I do most of my writing with paper and pen/pencil so the zone moves around with me.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I do it, too. I like that flexibility.
DeleteCongrats on the new story. I know what you mean about getting stuck on the computer for too long on other things.
ReplyDeleteI get way too antsy and my eyeballs beging to hurt. LOL!
DeleteIt comes out tomorrow! So excited for all of you.
ReplyDeleteI can write like that. For about 30 minutes. Then my back protests.
I lean against the sofa. I know - why not sit on the sofa? I just like it better on the floor. :)
DeleteCongrats on being party of the anthology! I'm going to buy it if I don't win it in the contest. Loved your interview on June's blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie! I hope you enjoy the book!
DeleteCongratulations on having a piece published in this anthology. I like to write in different places--coffee shops on deserted beaches (benefit of being able to paddle over to undeveloped islands), at the marina, but getting out and exercising before hand always helps.
ReplyDeletewww.thepulpitandthepen.com
I agree about the exercise part. It always works best after a long walk (and a shower).
DeleteCongratulations Sherry! This is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you Sherry and all the other authors in this anthology book. I know it will be a success.
ReplyDeleteYou and your family take care in this time of upheavel in the world.
Yvonne.
Thanks! I hope you are well!
DeleteBeach sounds like a comfy zone.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of seagulls and waves lapping up on the shore.
DeleteLove anthologies! Happy BD today to the one you're part of.
ReplyDeleteGetting in *the zone* is also getting easier as I'm beginning to accept the new zone all of humanity seems to have entered. Changes rattle, but we adjust.
Yes, we do adjust!
DeleteCongrats on the anthology release!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the anthology release!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLots of exciting things going on in your life! Congrats on being part of the new anthology and having another Bubba book about ready to launch. You're one busy lady!
ReplyDeleteI am a busy lady. No boredom ever sets in here!
DeleteWow, I'm sure this Voyagers book will be in demand by many people ..., I also want to read the stories of the ten authors.
ReplyDeleteIf you get the book, I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading all the stories in the Anthology. I've already got my copy on my iPad.
I write at my desk, in my bed, and wherever I am when ideas or dialogue starts coming.
Congrats on being published in the Anthology and all the best.
Shalom aleichem,
Pat G @ EverythingMustChange
Thanks, Pat!
DeleteA change of space can definitely help you get into the zone. And a huge congrats on the anthology, again! So happy your story was chosen. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheri! I'm thrilled that it was selected, too!
DeleteCongratulations on your story! I love Bubba and Squirt. <3
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chrys! I enjoy writing Bubba and Squirt's adventures.
DeleteGetting away from the computer is such a good strategy! It can be a terrible distraction.
ReplyDeleteYes. Social media can really suck up a lot of time!
DeleteCongratulations on your short story/anthology release, Sherry! Your story was great fun! I love Bubba and Squirt. I had a little sympathy with the grouchy old seismologist. I've know a lot of scientists well, and they're fascinating creatures. I'm also fascinated with volcanoes. Tom Jaggar, who was the founder of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory on the island of Hawaii, was also the brother to Miss Jaggar who befriended my mother and encouraged her to go to university. Mom was the "pretty daughter," not the "smart" one, and no one in her family had gone to university. They were very poor, but managed it. As a geologist, I've studied and visited volcanoes ~ So your story for younger readers gave me a lot of insight into how to handle science with that age group! Thank you! Take care!
ReplyDeletepoor, but she managed it (my mom).
DeleteThank you! I enjoyed Dare Dare Double Dare as well. Yours and mine were the ones with the humor. :)
DeleteCongrats on the release of the Anthology.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis is all so exciting, congratulations Sherry!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'm curious what you use as a backrest with all the floor-sitting. I'm trying to put together a more portable writing system, myself. Happy IWSG day!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen. I use the sofa as a back rest. I know it's kind of funny that I don't sit on the sofa. I sprawl out with all of my papers better on the floor. :)
DeleteYeah, sitting at a desk after doing it 8 hours a day isn't a place one wants to be.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteI like how you get into the zone! I used to be able to sit on the floor for long periods, but not so much any more.
ReplyDeleteHere's to the anthology!!!
Yay! I enjoyed your story. Yours was the most somber, but it really gave a good look into what it was like on those slave ships.
DeleteVery nice post! Have a great weekend! 🌷🌷🌷 Stay safe! 🙏🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteThanks! You too!
Deletecongratulations...
ReplyDeletethe word "ghost" brings me to old memory when I was kid...
Thank you for sharing the introduction.
Hmmm. Now you have me wondering about this old memory!
DeleteHow exciting to be part of this anthology, thanks for re-sharing the blog post.
ReplyDeleteI can quite understand your need to write anywhere other than at a desk but at the beach ... how do you ever get anything put on paper?
I listen to the sounds and write in my own little world. No problem at all. ;)
DeleteCongratulations on the new story!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteCongrats on being part of another great anthology. I admire the approach of getting away from the computer. I agree that writing by hand or in a different place seems to offer fresh inspiration - but there's no way I could write an entire draft like that. I wouldn't be able to read it!
