The power of focus in writing cannot be overemphasized.
> Pick a comfortable setting or settings (most likely to be necessary when writing a novel)
If you're using Omaha, Nebraska, focus on it. It's cultures, food, weather and how it helps to develop your plot, influence your character or channel the course of your story in the right direction.
> Define the motive of your story/article/essay.
It is most likely that our characters want a different channel than we (writers) have planned. Which is one of the reasons focus is very important. When you understand the motive of your book, you're less likely to dwindle. As mentioned earlier, when writing a novel, note down the plots. The reason is it gives the story a clearer structure than when you're too immersed in your writing.
Check: Read through your previous works and note down the times you deviated and compare to your brand new work.
