Wanted to put a wild writing tip out there for those who get stuck transitioning a scene in their head onto paper: write in the dark.
It sounds silly, but if you don’t look at what you’re writing while you write, it’s much easier to let the scene flow onto paper, because you aren’t being distracted by typos or sentence clarity or trying to reread what you’ve already put out there. It will read like garbage the first time around, and need lots of revision, but so far I’ve found nothing more effective for getting a first draft hammered into physical existence.
(Writing while in a dimly lit room with the computer screen brightness turned down to nothing and some instrumental epic music seems to help keep me in a daydreamy mood, too, so it’s easier to replay the mental scene I want to explain in words.)
This totally works for me too, but I just close my eyes and touch type. :)
