Step outline's working a treat. Got up to page seven, not bad for a late night stint. The first big turning point looks like it will fall around 9 or 10, about right for 30 minutes. Not that I'm trying to write by the numbers, but you have to keep a little eye on them when you've been given a page-count.
So what do you tell yourself when you're tired, and the sofa's whispering sweet nothings? How do you get yourself going? Sometimes I pretend I'm setting the laptop up for no particular reason, then just randomly sitting down at it. Sort of gently sucker myself into writing something.

Yay! Love the new blog name Andy!
I say I'm going to write one scene or one paragraph. Then I usually end up writing more.
Sometimes I give myself the mountain-climber speech. Mountain-tops are inhospitable, cold unpleasant places to go. You have to actually like the climb.
Erm. I forget why that works.
