First, sit down with a sharpened pencil and at least 10 sheets of unlined paper.
Next, write a brief story (250-500 words) detailing your doings between waking up and eating lunch earlier today.
Then, sit for a few minutes and try to think of something other than words and writing.
After your mind has settled, take the next piece of paper and begin writing with great speed in a stream-of-conscious-style. Begin by describing what went on internally while you were crafting the brief story about your morning. From there, go wherever your hand takes you without lifting your pencil from the paper for a significant (more than a few seconds) period of time. Write until you run out of paper.
Finally, take the final product and scan and e-mail it to loganliterary@gmail.com
(We're aware this may seem a convoluted exercise, but the results should be worth it.)
