I like your post. I have a random question, sorry to be off topic, but I was wondering how do you write to get your site found on Google like I found yours?

Wow Kay! Fantastic technique. In writing circles we call this “Freewriting”. It involves writing stream of consciousness. Even the acid remarks of the inner critique are poured out on the page. Once on the page you can cut and reshape, effectively rewriting your article from the garble.

Freewriting is a great way to beat out procrastination in an easy, “Just Do It” kind of way.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I have a procrastination buster of my own that has worked well for me both in getting uni assignments done, writing lectures and articles in my (past) professional life and in starting a blog entry.
I start off with “Wanna say…” and make a list in absolutely free form language- no spelling correction, punctuation virtually ignored, any old random thoughts and connections that pop into my head as I’m writing; I allow myself to repeat things in different ways with different slants- no holds barred- no technical terms if I can’t think of a word- gross overuse of the words “thing” and “stuff”. I even allow myself to jot down things like “I don’t know what the hell this lecturer wants me to say about ethics- who cares?- ethics are just a set of old rules- stuff him- he’s just being conventional..” etc.
This works for me without fail, even when I’m sooo depressed that I’d rather slice my own hand off than write something at the time! [Those who've ever scanned my blog will know I am famously depressed!]
Try it if the other techniques don’t work and let me know what happens!
