Have ...Thanks so much for the feedback and advice. Have you always known you were a method writer or did it take you a while to recognize this? I didn't realize this is what I was doing exactly and was being so hard on myself. I would try and write and couldn't focus because of things going on around me. I knew when I did focus and write, it was easy for my to be in the character's head. I didn't know that was a style of writing. Knowing this, changes everything for me. It changes my approach and my time management. It also changes my motivation. Learning this about myself is life changing.Christine Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673087957973598523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007057266422253608.post-2023548612771824662012-02-07T22:32:55.521-06:002012-02-07T22:32:55.521-06:00This was a pretty good post - I myself am a method...This was a pretty good post - I myself am a method writer, and you're right. If I get interrupted, it ruins the "groove" for me for at least 15 minutes. I have the same self-discipline problem with the internet, too. I really need to focus more on writing...after all, I have about 350k words to write by this November lol.<br /><br />As for Twitter, I can tell you that one thing you can do is just find an author that you really like, that writes books/blogs or whatever similar to yours, and follow a bunch of people that follow that author. About 1/4 of the people you follow on Twitter will follow you back. It's a good way to grow your following early on, and eventually people will start flowing in steadily on their own, as long as you're putting out content. <br /><br />You can try a few off-site programs, I use tweetcaddy.com, and those will allow you to pre-schedule tweets for marketing, unfollow people who don't follow you, and auto-followback those who follow you. Ugh...so many "follows" there. Anyways...<br /><br />Just make sure that you're actually getting on there at least once a day to tweet real stuff, thank people, RT your friends, etc, etc. The more you do for others, the more others do for you, you know?<br /><br />Use your Twitter following for good, like a superhero lol.<br /><br />Anyways, I ranted long enough, great post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135190161499516589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007057266422253608.post-41293641860028046162012-02-07T17:32:57.931-06:002012-02-07T17:32:57.931-06:00Thanks Morgan.
