How to get back to writinf

[Alaska]

I wrote two books here but stopped because I’ve got side tracked because of school. What should I do to write again?

Make it part of your routine. Before I had a baby and had to hold my nipple in his mouth for 6-8 hours a day, I would write every evening in a paper notebook before bed. Make the process enjoyable somehow. I like mood lighting and/or candles as well as a beautiful notebook with a quality pencil. I experimented with fountain pens for a while, but I found that a pencil still works best for me.

Go a sticky note route. Write a blurb. After 15 connect them by any means necessary. Pick the better ones out of 3. Spend a day going over how each one might end. Cannibalize whatever was useful from the other 2 stories into the victor story.

JUST DO IT! Don't let your dreams be dreams...

Seriously though, the only thing you need to do is pick up the pen and start writing. start small, 200 words or so, but challenge yourself so the next day you'll write 300 words, then 400... until you reach a comfortable level of work.

Are you writing to continue a piece? I usually reread the piece from the beginning and try to do it as a reader, not an author. Then I pick up at the end point. Otherwise, what everyone else said. Start writing.

What really helps to get me going is I write a blurb, you know, something you would read on the back cover of a book, and then I write the story to the blurb.

Ha. I'll share with you the same response I got when I asked a woman who had just finished a cross-country bicycle tour about my own plans for one: "Do it."
It's trite, but there's no substitute.
