I find writing a bit difficult, but it's definitely something I have a drive to do.
As a Game Master, it's a trait we usually share. So, how do you get yourself out of a rut, and just get writing? It's something I've really struggled with recently, and what I can recommend is to make it a routine- just write a little bit, every day. When I was doing daily posts, it was a little easier- I could push myself because I needed something in the pipeline every day. Now I'm back to four posts a week... I tend to be busy for a few hours on Sunday afternoons, and then forget about it for the rest of the week, which has made me sloppy sometimes. The late, absolutely great, Sir Terry Pratchett was known for not making himself write more than 400 words a day. If he wanted to, he'd do more, but 400 was his "that's a good daily amount" limit. While some authors are famed for more, I like this- it's not an overwhelming amount, just enough to get something written. And for people with busy schedules, or who do writing in their mundane work, or want to be writing other stuff as well, a little bit a day is important to get out. So, start a blog. Write for a Facebook page, or start your own. Write a journal and keep it under your be, whatever. Just get something written, and do a little bit every day. Get working!
