Fighting an Internet addiction that is keeping you from being productive? Trying to figure out how to get in touch with your more playful creative side?

Consider using a notebook.

As a pure experiment, I wrote yesterday's chapter of Substance using a notebook. Yes, it was the usual crappy first draft, but I found it easier to access the plot points and the characterizations I wanted.

After doing this, I transcribed the chapter, and now I will embellish it on computer.

It doesn't take me a whole lot less time to do this than it would for me to pour over it. Plus I focused on the story, rather than getting distracted, and that helped me access creativity.

Your mileage may vary, but I think I'll be playing this way for a bit.
