[ OT ] SatChat : How do you get into the writing zone ?

Flush with the victory at NaNoWriMo! It was my first attempt after being a member for three years - never got around to actually sitting down and putting one word behind another. This was also by and large a November that was least conducive to keeping a regimented rhythm of writing everyday - my work required me to go to several rural areas of the country, and I was taking a Diwali break with family ( I live in India ) 
 
 I found that making a ritual before going into writing made a difference for me. I had gotten into the habit of writing 750 words every morning ( thank you *The Artists' Way* ), and I developed the habit of meditating for about for about 5-10 minutes before writing in the evening every day. Splitting 2000 words in two manageable 1000-word blocks helped keep the rhythm going. 
 
 *Not* looking forward to editing the towering pile of gibberish that make up those 50k words though. Nope. 
 
 Also Chromebook + Crouton + Scrivener = best writing tool you'll ever get.

 I am super excited about the podcast, and am hoping that I'll get to read a few stories! I've read for [ Pseudopod ] ( http: //pseudopod.org/2015/07/24/pseudopod-448-laal-aandhi/ ) before, so it'd be nice to talk to someone about this: )
