How to Write Passionate Letters

Instead, take your project file with you, and go for a walk. Read it with the fresh perspective you get from being away from your desk. Fill your mind with it. Purge away the necessary administrative trivia you've been dealing with all day.

Then, morph into whatever routine that works for you when it comes to actually putting words on paper. For myself, I dictate all of my copy. Always have. Always will. And instead of sitting in an easy chair with my feet on the desk, I pace the room like a nervous tiger. I want the blood to be running from my legs into my brain, and not congealing in the fatty lumps of my rear end. I walk and talk. And since I can't see the actual words, I am forced to talk fast. I never look back on what I've said until the editing phase. I'm in a conversational mode.
