1. Setting my own writing challenges. Such as writing 1 article on a specific topic per day for 30 days.

2. Reading other people’s writing and taking note of what I like and what I don’t like.

3. Recognizing writing techniques or tricks other writers use and then deliberately writing an article to practice those techniques.

To name a few.

Various things:

* Enthusiasm (you can’t write well if your writing bores you)

* Mind mapping (on and off my computers)

* Reading (I usually read three to five books a week)

* Refining my writing processes so that I’m always having fun (this often includes buying tools just for fun, like a Livescribe pen and Wacom tablet)

* Listening to my intuition

* Blogging

Great question. :-)

Accountability–A person or deadline holding my feet to the fire. When our critique group holds two-week challenges where we set our own personal daily word count goals, I find I am most consistent in cranking out the words. And they’re usually not half bad.

Having just finished an ebook on this same topic (which has 101 tips for novelists and screenwriters), it’s hard to pick a favorite. One of my favs is “every scene should have a succinct mission” (Tip #96). Knowing what the scene needs to accomplish, and focusing (without burdening it with too many things to do) allows the art of setting it to emerge and flourish.
