Getting settled to write (a checklist)

Make sure you’re computer is charged at 100%…cut the cord unless you’re pulling an all-nighter

Go to the library or a similar place…#quiet

Preferably not your bedroom (it’s distracting)

Bring something to drink in case you get thirsty…grab a coffee if you’re sleepy

Go to the bathroom beforehand…go twice

Find somewhere to sit alone…preferably as far away from the teenagers as possible

Choose a spot with good amount of light…Edgar Poe was the only person who ever wrote anything good in the dark

Choose a chair that’s flat…I have no clue why someone would put a un-level chair in a place where people go to focus

Choose a simple and unbiased wallpaper

Close all programs…especially Messenger

Open your word processor…I like this one

Forget everything you think you know about writer’s block

Give up seeking perfect…aim to write something (anything) merely better than your last iteration

There. I think you’re ready.
