Do any of you do "morning pages" or a similar exercise everyday? Has it helped? I'm doing this at the moment but I'm only in my first week

I try to fact check some of the people on this web site:

http://thezog.info/list-summaries/

every morning as a kind of crossword puzzle. So far I only found two or maybe three mistakes (people incorrectly identified as belonging to the wrong ethnic group) on the entire list.

After years of doing small pages here and there, I finally googled writers block techniques and found the worst cases of it so I could compare their methods.

In all instances, habit was the biggest factor, followed by 'just start writing, even if it's just a diary entry', and then of course lifestyle. Stress, exercise, sleep, etc.

What's working for me right now is setting a timer and trying to do two hours of solid writing a day. I can split this up into two hour chunks, or four half hour chunks, but unless I am feeling absolutely like garbage-in which case I will allow myself an hour to write, then I have to fucking do it. No matter what.

I plan to have a rough draft done in the next six months, and I've set myself to write, bare minimum, 2 chapters per week. Obviously if the story is finished before those six months, I will start editing, but I wanted to give myself plenty of room to be able to butcher, chop, and alter stuff without feeling like all those months of hard work produced nothing.

no, but I keep a personal journal which I write in a few times a week.
It's usually just thoughts, or feelings I write down.

OP, whatever you do for two hours a day will make you much better than this faggot.
