Goodreads asked Jen Porter:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jen Porter Develop a routine that primes your brain and helps it "shift" into writing mode. Your brain won't necessarily go from "being normal" to "being creative" every time you sit down at a journal or computer, so it's helpful to give it some physical cues.

For me, that is usually exercising, then getting coffee and heading to my office, deck, or table by the pond for some Bible study, journaling, and prayer -- followed by writing, sometimes with an appropriate playlist of wordless music (like related movie soundtracks).
