RE: 5 Reasons to Shatter the Editing-While-Writing Addiction
I prefer to record by audio mostly cos if you just write all the time on paper or by laptop you will be going back and forward like a romantic broken boomerang!
This is actually something that one of the most prolific living SF authors (Kevin J Anderson) does too. He records his books as he's hiking, then sends the recordings to someone to transcribe. It actually makes for really fast writing. It's something I plan to play with in the future, but haven't done as yet :)
Usually when I go out walking around one of my local big parks in London it clears my head of the typical rubbish you sometimes think at home. I just start recording on the audio on mobile phone and just start talking away into, this is my best tactic and it stops my mind drifting away into other things. I always do a run first and then my walk to record as my brain becomes so sharp and active after my run. I do this for my motivational writing and also for my stand up comedy too. The great outdoors inspire me more than sitting within four walls at home. Thank you for your info and getting back to me too!
On a completely unrelated note: I love London! I hope to get back there sometime soon. We're actually supposed to be making a visit out there in the summer, but I just had some big house-related expenses, so I'm not sure we'll be able to swing it :( We'll see!
Thanks so much for commenting! :)
Yes London is a magic city. Tourists adore central London and the West End but I much prefer the heights of Camden Town. You have all walks of life there but the people of Camden keep it more real as a community. Regents Park and Primrose Hill where I go for my visioned audio walks most days.
Many thanks and have a cracking weekend too!
I will keep those on my radar for whenever I get back! I like doing some touristy stuff, but also, I prefer to hang out where locals do. I love learning about people and how they live, so just doing touristy stuff doesn't feed that particular need :)
Have a great weekend yourself! :)
