Sometimes, it's as if the act of writing actually creates the content out of thin air. Have you ever had that experience? I sure have, many times.

Every time I tell myself I'm just going to type something up, and I end up altering and improving (hopefully) on what I've written. Writing is definitely a "muscle" in your brain that improves with use. I find it much easier to produce work when I'm on a writing spree, than when I've been doing something else for a few days.

I'm not a prolific writer: if I write more than 600 words in a day I feel I've achieved something. But it's encouraging to think that I can teach myself, to some extent, to be more productive.
