Meditation...


Good Luck on your book.Ahhh writing a book and cant concentrate, any tips to clear my mind?
If you are serious about writing a book, you must treat it like a job, because it is a job. Set specific hours for writing your book, take an hour for lunch, then get back to it and either write until 5:00 or until a chapter is done.


Get up in the morning an hour before your writing day begins, have your coffee or tea and breakfast.


Make ';to do'; lists so that you may quickly take care of personal business before sitting down to type.


The more focused you are on writing, the easier the thoughts will come. Other ideas for your book will come into your head--make a note of them and put them aside until you can assimilate them into your book. Let your answering machine take calls for you and return calls later or the next day. Don't get easily sidetracked--if your book becomes a best seller, there will be plenty of time to play and plan your next book.


Good luck and may God bless you.
The quickest, easiest way...





Take deep breathes and count to 10.
try meditating. clear ur mind of any single thought. try thinking of paradise. once ur head is clear try writing. that always helps me if i got too much on my mind. kinda weird, but it works for me at least.
Well, stop for a moment and do some free writing before you go back to your book. Me I just stop for couple of days and them go back to the wrting once those thoughts are organized. Try to think just about what you are writin and the thoughts will slowly become less random in narure.
The creative process is not subject to timetables --unless you have a contract with a publisher--so go walking, go for a swim, or start writing down your random thoughts.


They may actually spur your writing or have some connection you cannot quite see to the story you are writing.
First, try taking your time and asking questions with good grammar and spelling (and don't cheat by using spellcheck). This is a fun little game I play every time I write anything. Next, go driving around, and do your best NOT to think about the book or any deadline you may have. Go places and have fun, then, when you're totally loose (no more stress), inspiration will hit you out of nowhere. At least, that's how it works for me. If inspiration doesn't hit you yet, get a notebook and a pencil, and do some stream of consciousness writing; that might get you're brain wired for writing so you'll have an easier time. Sorry if I didn't help.
Take a walk in nature. Let the things you see inspire you.
