Simple, Useful Writing Aid.

Its called an ANCHOR.

An anchor is a congruent state of mind where every part of you is working together and good things are happening with your writing. The anchor is a physical trigger you touch to access the mental state when the writing isnt going well and youre clueless about a direction to take.

So do this:

The next time youre hot and things are going well with the writing, touch the back of your head with your fingers; do it several times, maybe a dozen times, but only touch your head when youre feeling great about the writing. Later, down the road, if y ou find youre frustrated and annoyed and clueless...touch the back of your head.

I have a spot on my arm I touch when the world is nutz and I wanna feel calm and tranquil and relaxed. I touch THE SPOT and chill out pretty quickly.

And here I thought the answer was either a computer or a dictionary.

Mine works better.

Let's see. Show me what you write. I can't find you indexed as a writer here.

Does it work well for you with shopping lists?

Mostly I use it to cure alcoholics.

All my stories involve Miley Cyrus and biker gangs, so I cant post my stories. And ROMEO & JULIET is out, too.

No Glory 4 Glory ...

.... because that's a snide remark at best. Please don't do that, it makes you seem childish.

Be biting and tart if you must but be an adult.

You've never seen anything that I've written here on Literotica either but you've seen my work if you've watched various TV Police crime solution stories or police procedurals.

Furthermore, I've averaged about $200K per year while having fun for 10 years now.

That's not too bad for a guy who has never published on Literotica. What say you?

LOL. I say that talk is cheap, especially on the internet. The only reality that exists on Literotica is what appears on Literotica.

I'm not sure whats up with the SHOW ME URS AN I'LL SHOW U MINE responses.
The other day on FACEBOOK someone I know posted something I wrote in 1993. She had no idea I was the author. Then my daughter tells me that someone else made a ringtone of it they sell online. But theft is pretty much what you invite when you post stuff online.

This is the kind of thread that if someone else started it, I would expect to see JBJ butting in five posts down with a comment like "Pseudo-psychobabble hogwash! Just sit your artsy-fartsy ass down and do it. It's not fucking rocket science, you're just lazy."

Just sayin'.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

The difference is it aint psycho-babble. Its classical Pavolvian conditioning for practical purposes. If you can condition a dog to salivate for a bell you can train a person to feel great for some other stimulus.

 

[Loring2]

Right on stupid

LOL. I say that talk is cheap, especially on the internet. The only reality that exists on Literotica is what appears on Literotica.

I see that you're the ultimate higher critic and that makes you a bit hard to deal with; makes it hard for you too though, I guess.

How do you feel when you get up every morning knowing that it isn't going to get any better for you today and you've still got to look at that same asshole in mirror who was there yesterday?

More true than most think

I'm not sure whats up with the SHOW ME URS AN I'LL SHOW U MINE responses.

That last sentence is the basis for the internet, very little is original and I have an agent who says that I will post on Literotica only over his dead body.

His reasoning is that it's too difficult to prove the "who preceded whom" part in copyrite law cases, if it comes to that.

One of our team, there are 4 of us, actually has experienced such a case. He described it as "Getting into a pissing contest with a skunk".

Thank you very much. This is a kind of thing i could really use in my life right now

People it's just a suggestion. Take it or leave it.

My, you seem all puffed up about yourself without anything to show for it here. I have no doubt you leap tall buildings in your own mind.
