How do I get ready to write? I don't.
I just show up.
I don't meditate or clear my head or put on snappy music or dance or go over my outline or working my characters or make sure I'm on track.
I just show up.
Me. All of me -- my angst and sorrow and joy and laughter and irony and outrage and frustration and intelligence and stupidity and every other aspect of myself.
I bring all of me to the desk. Sit down. And start writing.
The best story unfolds when I bring my entire self to my office, sit down, and start.
Try it and let me know how it works for you.
