Basically this. Someone wiser than me once said something to the effect of "butt + chair = writing." After weeks of just feeling vaguely anxious about writing, and thus avoiding it, I figured I may as well try the formula. I put my butt in the chair, opened Slater's Claim, and have so far added about 1700 words to it over the past couple of days. That doesn't feel like much, but it's 1700 more words than zero, which is what I was producing, so it's a win.
So, some stats!
Word count: 46026
Have you written every day?: So far, since 1st November, yes. I haven't written yet today, but plan to this evening while Nero records a podcast episode.
Best line written: Alessi chuckled, the sound like knives in Slater's back. “I've never been a civilised man. But I'm willing to be persuaded.”
Tea status: I've been living off Rosie Lea Tea's caramelised pumpkin brew this week.
Soundtrack:

Weekend plans: Nero bought the full Lord of the Rings/Hobbit blu ray extended edition mega set this week, which is about thirty discs' worth of Tolkien geekery. I am not planning to watch the whole thing this weekend, but we're definitely going to start. That being the case, I need to make the most of my early mornings. I usually get up a couple of hours before Nero to do physio, have breakfast and read. This weekend it'll be physio, breakfast, and write. I hope...We'll see on Monday, I guess! Happy Friday, folks!
