The WRITING process:

1. Clean, organize and decorate your space
2. Turn on music, check Facebook, write an email, check Facebook
3. Clean, organize and decorate the rest of your apartment (while you’re at it)
4. Take a break/eat
5. Open up assignment
6. Organize all assignments/readings for the semester
7. Organize the rest of your bills/papers
8. Consider taking a walk
9. Try to remember what your intentions were before steps 1-8 occurred
10. Sit down and attempt to write (but first write a ridiculous facebook post)

“You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That’s how I’ve done it. There’s no other way.”

Elizabeth Taylor
