If you have regular writing rituals then there's one thing you will know about that above all else: routine and rituals work.

The bricklayer who shows up each day, builds a wall. He knows that if he doesn't show up, the wall doesn't get built. Conversely, if he does show up to lay bricks each day, he makes steady and consistent progress.

Over time the bricks that become a wall, become a house. Similarly, the words that become a sentence... become a paragraph... become a chapter, to become a book over time, one day at a time.

Many writers wait for ideas to strike them before they sit down to write. If that's you, congratulations on the inspiration that's coming your way. But now.... Now that you’re getting serious about your art, it's time to invoke it at will!

To wait for inspiration to strike is like waiting to go to the gym once you're slim and fit. Consider these writing rituals and share yours too!
