#writing hyperfocus

I think a lot of people wonder what exactly you get out of writing once you take away the gratification of posting each chapter as it's written, and the adrenaline rush of binge writing.

What's left to enjoy?

The answer (for me at least, other people probably enjoy other stuff) is the Zone.

the habit of measured daily writing make it easier to slide into the Zone, that is: a hyperfocus state. (At least I think that's what it is.)

It's a beautiful place where words come easily, I don't have to think about what comes next because characters direct the action, and I loose all sense of time.

Being in the zone creatively is amazing and has a really positive effect on my overall mental health and happiness. And all I have to do to get it is show up for my daily scheduled writing.

Bonus, I get a story at the end of it!
