How to be concentrated
1. My number 1 rule is have no distractions, doing this means you can sit down and do you work with out distractions. Distractions usually break concentration. 2. Be inspired, you can't write if you aren't excited to do what you love. I usually look at quotes, read other books and listen to music, my favourite quotes and music will be down below. 3. Edit later, I find it hard to do this, if you edit later that means you are doing more progressive stuff then looking at a sentence trying to find mistakes that aren't there. P.S Using an editor helps, look at the blog for the best ones. 4. Have fun with what you are doing, write something silly in you draft when you don't know what to write later it might give you an idea. This will help you by not trying to thing of an idea in a noncreative state.

J.K Rowling “Be ruthless about protecting writing days, i.e., do not cave in to endless requests to have "essential" and "long overdue" meetings on those days. The funny thing is that, although writing has been my actual job for several years now, I still seem to have to fight for time in which to do it. Some people do not seem to grasp that I still have to sit down in peace and write the books, apparently believing that they pop up like mushrooms without my connivance. I must therefore guard the time allotted to writing as a Hungarian Horntail guards its firstborn egg.”“I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me.”"Write what you know: your own interests, feelings, beliefs, friends, family and even pets will be your raw materials when you start writing. Develop a fondness for solitude if you can, because writing is one of the loneliest professions in the world!" Other Authors “I took a master class with Billy Wilder once and he said that in the first act of a story you put your character up in a tree and the second act you set the tree on fire and then in the third you get him down.” – Gary Kurtz, producer of Star Wars Episode IV and V.“First, find out what your hero wants, then just follow him!” – Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451 “I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.” – Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” – Toni Morrison, Nobel prize-winning novelist 12 Best writing tips
How do I word that
Write like you speak don’t make your writing sound like writing. This is harder than you think, for some reason it is easy to put on a voice when you are writing. You can work on making your writing sound like talking by imagining that someone is sitting in front of you and you are writing as if you are talking to them. Some people when they write like they talk use long sentence that fill an entire paragraph. My tip is keep thing simple, use short sentences and never write about something for more than two pages. Some times it takes longer to write a shorter post than a long one. Spellcheck
There are many spellcheck programs but not all of them do the same thing. Some check spelling and some check grammar. I have many apps and programs that you can simply download and use. -Grammarly (used for Google Chrome to check spelling and grammar. Can be found in Web Store) -Microsoft check (used in Microsoft apps and can be turned on using review tab) -Trelby (used for screenwriting) -Dictionary.com Sorry this Blog was so short I hope it was helpful though.
