That is my method of writing... just doing it every time i have some time. Sometimes only ten minutes, sometimes 5 hours. From the first day I decided that I would write every day and see if my lifetime of scribbling could become a book, I have just written every day when I have the time.
Here is what I call 'writing' every day...
Some days I sit there staring into space, dreaming up the fun stuff, writing lists, names for characters, twists in the story, visualising locations.
Some days I power into the story, writing page after page of story, not planning or plotting, just flowing with THE STORY lol
Some days I look through magazines for inspiration. Almost any magazine helps me along, the pictures trigger all kinds of stuff. Sometimes stuff I'd forgotten for years!
Some days I do brainstorming with mind maps. I write...
a characters name
or a part of the story
or a location
or an event in the story
...and then I totally let loose and write absolutely anything that comes into my head all around the word/idea. This leads me to great new tangents I would never have gotten to otherwise.
