"How do you force yourself to put words on a page?"

I don't. Largely because:

"First thing is I try to set a writing schedule such that it doesn’t take over my life. I’ve seen too many LARP writers go crazy the weeks before a game trying to get everything done at once."

If only it were a 'few weeks of hell before the game'. The few weeks before the game _were_ hell, but that was largely logistical (printing, collating, packaging etc.). The problem was writing a game was 9+ months of hell. The two games I was a major force in ate most of the preceeding year for me and the rest of the team.

Running a game is a glorious rush. But it is still not a big enough payoff to justify the investment of the better part of a year of my life/free time.

This makes me sad, (I have several good ideas that I'd love to do) but it is what it is.
