I try to write through it. It is ok to write garbage and go back and edit it later, but you have to get something down.

Being able to share. Having people actually read my stuff is a real privilege.

Just write. If you are having trouble, try making it more exciting. If you are bored, a read probably will be too. I didn't follow this rule as tightly in my second novel, and I paid the price in the pacing being slower than I would have liked. I would also recommend having people talk, it helps flow. It is hard to make characters interesting if they are mute or always in their own heads.

I listen to music, think about exciting things to write, and read what I have recently wrote to try and get in the zone.

No where in particular, it just kind of grew on itself. I did want to write a book a little bit different that standard fantasy, as with Orcs 1.
