Writing is more than just scribbling black marks on white paper; it’s a process. The four steps of the writing process are prewriting, drafting, editing/revising, and proofreading.

One writer asked what to do to get into the writing mood, so we’ll going to tap into prewriting tasks in today’s Life Writers Vlog.

The prewriting task we discuss in this video is writing rituals.

Writing rituals can be as simple as sipping tea or sharpening pencils. They’re about signaling your brain that it’s time to write.

Try different rituals and share your experiences with us in the comments section below. We’d love to hear what works for you.

And always remember, the only way to do this wrong is to not do it at all!
