Zone and Zen

Zone:  Becoming lost in the art of creating. 
 
I love the moment when I realize that I've been writing effortlessly for hours.  It is such a great feeling. 
 
To help put me in the zone I have a few tricks. 
 
1)  I use a soundtrack from a movie.  Currently I'm using the soundtrack from Robin Hood. When my brain hears the music it knows it is time to write. 
 
2) Before I quit writing I ponder what the next scene should be and maybe even write a first sentence.  I may or may not keep it, but I don't start the day with a blank page.
 
3)  I show up at the same time every morning.  Okay, most every morning.  My body knows that at 5:00 I'm going to write.
 
Do you have any special tricks up your sleeve that helps you to get in the zone?

Zen

My Co-worker found this little shop when she was visiting Dallas and thought of me.  I have a little sand garden on my desk.  If I find myself starting to say something critical about someone else I stop myself by saying "ZEN" and walking away.

The subject line said:  I found your bliss.

The fact that it is a dessert bar makes it even better.

It has been fun getting to read all the blogs and seeing how creative people are with coming up with things from A-Z.  I know some of mine have been a bit lame - but lame is better than nothing and next year I will "fail better".
