I like to begin with word/phrase association exercise to ignite the neurons. Example: Tree, branch, fig, free will, Sylvia Plath, oven, suicide, kill yourself, etc.

I also keep two journals, one for the day and one for the night. The day version is called Ulysses, the night is called Finnegans Wake. I feel original when I give names to my notebooks.

As far as writing fiction, I believe it is essential to focus on the characters. I write some shit about characters and come to know them as I would know a friend or incestual partner. Once I come to know them, I place them in a situation which combines both the theme I am attempting to explore and a compelling plot.

Then I write 0 words, go on 4chan for several hours, rub one (or sometimes two) out, think about how I'm wasting my life, sleep, wake up, go to work all day, and repeat until I die in obscurity, having accomplished nothing.
