When I first started writing, I never pre-plan how I would write my stories. That writing style worked because it allowed the creative juice to flow. Although I still prefer to be spontaneous, I incorporate some form of outline to help guide the story alone. Also, I try to follow a process that help with removing distractions so I can work hassle free.
Clutter is a sign of dysfunction for some people, and I am one of those people. Wherever I find myself writing, it has to be clean because I would focus on the work instead of the clutter.
Writers must allot time to write, and it should be periods of interruptions. Working early in the morning, between 4 am and 10 am, has worked for me. Sometimes I would work late at night because at those times, the house was quiet, and everyone in the family was sleeping.
Distractions can lead to unproductive. When trying to make a writing deadline, writers should avoid places where they are distractions. So going to a library or neighborhood cafe can help.
