Making Time . . . Power hours

I really think our age group has a lot to offer, be it fiction, nonfiction, novels, short stories, magazine articles, whatever one wants to do. In days gone by, it was the old time storytellers who gave direction, not by wagging their fingers and telling everyone they screwed up, but by telling stories with a not so obvious moral. They can be fun stories. They can be serious. They can be raunchy, or they can be religiously written. It doesn't matter. There is so much potential here with all of us, that it excites me. Let's all do something.
One suggestion to get someone unstuck or help a person get past the roadblocks we all put up is to force oneself to sit for 10 minutes everyday in one place, before a computer terminal or with a tablet. For ten minutes you can't do anything else. You can't get up and go potty. You can't answer the phone. You can't get up and get coffee. You have to sit there and try to think about writing. Put words to the page - gobbledygoop is okay. The words don't have to make sense at all. Brainstorm. Put down incomplete sentences about nothing important or everything important. It doesn't matter. The point is to do this every day, without fail for 10 minutes. That's how I started my first book. I had to force myself. I had to teach myself to have the discipline. A little at a time what I wrote down had meaning. A little at a time I started devoting more time to it, until I could write most of the day. I suggest you try this and see how it works for you.
