"More About Me"

[Gildarts]

As a newb in RP, I mostly just hang around, reading everyone's posts and go nuts everytime somthing new comes out on whatever character I am currently tracking. Somehow, it gets harder who to choose when just about everyone has a lot of awesome things built up.

Here' my question to everyone: How do you get yourself into "Writing Mode"? Do you do some kind of ritual? Take note every flash of brilliance is your passtime? Read something on your head? Sit on your white porcelain throne as you reevaluate your lifechoices? Drink a cup of tea, coffee, whatever Some other odd thing I haven't thought of?

I used to have one, but pretty much, I have a warm beverage, make sure my feet are covered (I have poor circulation and they get COLLLDD, which as you know can be a major distraction when trying to write something like "Gildarts stepped in lava" or some crazy thang. Other than that, if I just don't feel up to writing I come back to it later. The keyboard/screen/ whatever will still be there when I get back from something like a relaxing bath or to return from the gym. If I'm not writing, I'm probably reading, which I think flexes the same brain muscle.
