I usually write using the binge method. I go away somewhere for a week or two and do nothing but eat, sleep, and write. I find when I'm alone for that long, ideas start germinating to keep me entertained in my isolation. Because I don't have to keep breaking my concentration in order to participate in daily life, I can get a lot done. Back home I edit and rewrite and await the next chance for a few days of solitude.
