Thursday Thirteen #154
And we're back after a few weeks off for another Thursday filled with thirteen great things for all Copious Notes readers to see! For this week, I want to let you know about my writing environment. I like to have certain situations and things going on when I write. I think it helps stimulate the creative.
What do *you* need when you write? I'd love for you to let me know in the comments.

Thirteen things I like to have while I write by Aaron Crocco. 1. A filled cup of Senseo Coffee. 2. Music playing (preferably Pandora). 3. A clean desktop where all programs are closed including my GMail notifier. 4. A full belly always helps, so I try to eat beforehand or have a snack on my desk. 5. All my email has to already have been read. 6. Any websites I want to read have to have been visited. 7. I like to know how long my writing time will be. 8. I like to re-read the previous 1-2 pages so I know exactly where I am. 9. Since I'm on a mac, I like to have my Dictionary widget open and ready in Dashboard 10. I like to set a low goal of how much I want to write (2 pages, 1,000 words, etc) where even if I want to stop writing, I still can accomplish something. 11. I like to make sure all bathroom breaks are taken care of before I sit down. I'm sure you will all agree that they are quite destracting. 12. I like to write during the day. 13. The temperature needs to be at a comfortable level. I hate writing in a sweatshirt or in next-to-nothing. |
