Recipe For Generating Raw Material

350 words a day minimum. Before breakfast. Before anything, except coffee. don't worry about it being any good, at this time of day it's all about quantity not quality.

You can plot and edit any time, but this will give you a bulk of raw material to play with.

After ten days and 4000 words, read back what you've got. You'll be surprised.

But don't stop the 350 words a day.

Before breakfast.

Fed up with calling you a tw** on YWO - thought I'd argue with you here.

Raw material? 3 lonely pints and a notebook while away from home or stuck in an airport 'lounge'

Type it later and delete. Where do all the deleted words go? YWO and authonomy sometimes.

But Nick - I can't even remember where I am before I have breakfast! Might manage a few words after supper, though...

What a lovely cheeky smile that is in your photo :-)

I couldn't possibly do anything at all until I've had my home made muesli. 1 bag of raw oats. 1 bag of mixed nuts. 1 bag of dried bananas. 1 bag of dries dates. 1 bag of sultanas. drowned in soya milk. Followed by 2 oz pure lemon juice mixed with a carton of pro-biotic then all washed down with a huge mug of cammomile tea.

I fart a lot.
