From time to time, someone on Twitter will call for a "writing sprint." Then, two or more writers will agree to wright for a short, set amount of time. Their focus will then be on reaching a certain amount of words, within that time frame.

However, number five on our list here tells us to go counter to that abovementioned practice. That is, instead of continuing to write, when you are "in the flow" of it..."stop."

Yes, you read that correctly. "Stop," when you are writing well. There is one loose rule, however. That is, "stop," only, "if" you are close to your word quota for that day, and, "only" if you are "in the flow," not trudging along with it.

Cutting yourself short here, when you are "in the flow," can help you to avoid writer's block. That is because stopping suddenly, forces your creative mind to realize two things. One: it keeps the taste of creativity alive. Two: your creative side will crave to write more, when you permit it to do so again—because the creative side enjoys the feeling of the muse being with you.
