I always thought you needed perfect focus to write, but I finished a whole chapter by setting a 20 minute timer and just typing.

How many times have you tried that timer trick? I used to get stuck trying to write for hours... setting a short timer and just going for it was a game changer for me. It takes the pressure off because you're not trying to write a whole thing, you're just filling that small block of time. I keep a list of quick scene ideas now just for those sprints.

That "just filling that small block of time" thing works for chores too...

Phoenixw11 gets it, that timer trick cuts through the mental block.

Wait, is it really that deep? I just write when I feel like it. Betty_wells might be onto something with chores though.
