Some people propogate that each writer has a specific time frame in which he or she is most effective. Others think that writers should be able to write at any time and in any environment, that they should be able to retreat into their imaginaton at will, regardless of their surroundings.
Whichever category you fall under, you would agree that there is a time of the day in which you are most creative. Early morning? Late afternoons? Dead of night when everyone else is asleep?
Once you have determined this time frame, you should stick to it, writing a little everyday instead of abandoning your novel for weeks and suddenly snatching up a pen and attempting to write a few dozen pages because you think you have been 'inspired'.
Keep in mind that writing too much and squeezing your brain for every last imaginative drop could bring about a writer's block. A good way to dodge this syndrome would be to stop your narrative just as an action part 'comes on'. Picking up the storyline will be much easier then, as opposed to the when you get back to your novel only to find you hero is about to take a nap.
