You have ideas what to write about. But how do you get started? Do you sit at your computer, fingers poised above the keyboard . . . ready. . . but your mind swirls, goes blank. . . at a loss how to get started.

How about starting your writing time like many famous author do? With warm-ups, using writing prompts.

There are many blogs and websites with ideas for writing. One of them is my interactive blog, The Write Spot Blog. You can post your writing (~600 words) and receive comments on your writing.

You can also use prompts posted on my Facebook Writing Page and writing prompts on my website. http://www.thewritespot.us/writingprompt.html

The joy of writing freely . . . that’s what these prompts are about.

How do you start your writing time? What are your rituals? Your writing habits?  Or, do you Just Write?
