I ran across this on Deviant Art. (I don't own it). I thought it had some good ideas. What do you think? Do you use any of these ideas?

I do, actually. I use the methods to help kick Writer's Block butt, and for the most part it works unless I am being lazy. XD I use a mash up of the Scientific Method and the Swain Method.I don't really use the Cycle scene and sequel because once I have the overall basic plot figured out, I tend to let my characters figure out how to get to the end on their own. Sometimes they do brilliant things that I never once would have thought to make them do.

I use The Writing Process a lot xD It helps

I personally have a really hard time using any writing devices like that. For whatever reason outlines only serve to mess me up, and I just end up winging it anyway. Any papers I have to write for school always end up worse if an outline is part of the assignment. Guess I'm just weird like that.

I've never been great at following technical solutions for writing unless I can understand and apply the process in working order, or, I've probably used variations of whatever is out there in some way, shape or form. My basis is academic writing, so I'm a what you might call 'jargon-junky', so anything on a creative/fanfiction level is a breath of fresh air, easier to write, and free from folding my brain into a pretzel.

Thinking can literally hurt. I've had days when my eyeballs were slowly turning into the cube-shape of my PC screen. Eye-strain is less painful by far.

Writer's Block can be a pain in the keister but I get Drawing Block too, so I toss the ficlet or drawing aside and leave it until I can come back to it another day with a fresh brain and figure it out. Works wonders. I'm that person that either can write or can draw when I feel creative. If I'm not in that mood I'm about as useful as a flat tyre.
