And if I'm really busy or pretty slow on a manuscript I force myself to writing one line a day (it works like magic!) I also make sure to stop in mid sentence so I have something to write when I come back instead of burning myself up then staring at the blank page :)Haneen Ibrahimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02630051804744173965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-5943982471028752982014-04-29T08:34:00.309-04:002014-04-29T08:34:00.309-04:00I don't listen to music when I write.
