The best thing I discovered was the fake commute, recommended by a (non-famous) writer friend: aping one of his own heroes, he gets up every morning, gets dressed, walks around the block several times, and goes home to work. I have adapted this practice by riding my bicycle in a circuitous route through rush-hour traffic, which makes me feel much more serious when I return to write at the table where I've just had breakfast.Routine inquiries: what goes into a writing 'process'? | Books | guardian.co.uk

That really made me laugh!. Unfortunately I'm one of those 'not artistic' writers who is a terrible creature of habit. Get me off my track and I write nothing.
Interesting, isn't it, how everyone is completely different. I can't find a routine to work for me, but I certainly wouldn't call myself more "artistic" because of that. I think true artists are probably highly disciplined. Or maybe... each to her or his own, no? Whatever works... keep doing it!
