Make sure the area is free of distractions - that there's nothing that will interrupt you once writing starts. That means take a piss, grab a glass of water, close any instant messaging programs or tabs and turn your phone to silent if you get a lot of texts/calls.
Then I just write. I find have always got something to say or some idea of what my character might be doing. I used to plan out everything, and I still will if I've got a storyline planned out from the beginning, perhaps if I was writing a book. But for role-playing or free writing I don't treat it like a job. Because things always get derailed in role-playing anyway. That's what makes it fun. That's what makes it interactive. I never get writer's block this way. It just takes effort and actually wanting to write.
Wanting to write is key. If you feel like there's no point you're not enjoying, then you need to focus on the priorities in your life. But sometimes writing can be good for your mental health.

Curious about me and the characters I play? See the 'Staff' page! See also the rosters for my characters Samus Aran or Enel if you'd like to see examples of well-formatted rosters. Hope you enjoy the Omniverse!
