Does timed writing work?

Write to the Clock

Sometimes we need to write, even when we don't feel in the mood. Set the clock for ten minutes and promise yourself that you will not get up for any reason during that time.

At the end of ten minutes, if you don't feel like writing, give yourself a break. But go back to it again in a while, and try writing again for ten minutes.

Most people find that once they start writing, they don't need to set the clock to continue writing. Or if they do, they set it again for only ten minutes. This allows you to focus on your writing, but not waste any time if you truly do not feel that you can concentrate on your character's world.
