Conditioned Writing

One of my majors in college was psychology. The two main interests for me in the field are learning and creativity. For our purposes here today we will focus on how to actually get things done. We will ignore the part about learning our craft where you should do it a lot and and have excellent instruction; indeed, I have heard a concert pianist once say that anyone can do what he does, you simply need to practice 8 hours per day every day for 20 years while getting regular expert instruction. That is learning your craft. Our concern here is how to make output happen. As writers we are not learning a performer’s art so much as we are focusing on being composers.
