Tips to writing deeply and comfortably. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Stretch – either standing or sitting in a chair. Do whatever whatever stretching feels good to you.<\/p>\n

Sit easily in a comfortable chair.<\/p>\n

Take a deep breath in through your nose, exhale out through your mouth, like you are blowing out a candle.<\/p>\n

Take several deep breaths and whoosh out on the exhalations.<\/p>\n

Relax into your chair.\u00a0 Smile.\u00a0 Escort your inner critic out the door.<\/p>\n

Shed your ideas about what perfect writing means.<\/p>\n

Give yourself permission to write the worst stuff possible.<\/p>\n

Writing isn\u2019t about talent, it\u2019s about practice and going into another dimension.<\/p>\n

Creative writing is an act of discovery.<\/p>\n

Take another deep breath. Relax into your breathing. Exhale with a satisfying sigh.<\/p>\n

Rather than write for an audience, write from an instinctual level.<\/p>\n

Immerse yourself in writing. Let go of your worries and write. Just write to a satisfying inner desire to go to a meaningful place.<\/p>\n

Go deeper into the recesses of your mind and really write.<\/p>\n

Write from the well that stores the fears. Let the tears come. Let the stomach tie up in knots.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to write the story that is difficult to tell.<\/p>\n

Get through the barriers to go to a deeper level.<\/p>\n

See your story and tell it.<\/p>\n

When you are writing, if you run out of things to say, write \u201cI remember. . .” and see where that takes you.<\/p>\n

Or write, \u201cWhat I really want to say . . .”<\/p>\n

You can use the prompts on this blog<\/a> to jumpstart your writing.<\/p>\n
