Every writer has a ritual, and I sure have one.
Before I sit down in front of my computer or with my notebook, I spend about an hour just reading. I read even things that are barely related to what I should be writing. I read the news and I read novels. Sometimes, I even read the nutrition facts of whatever food packaging is in my room. Reading relaxes my mind and it familiarizes me with words.
Once I start writing, I also listen to rock music. Some would say that music actually disrupts the thought process. As for me, rock music quiets down everything and only lets me hear myself. It's actually very effective for me. I cannot focus without rock.
How about you? What are your writing rituals?
