Once you try doing it often enough it starts to come naturally.  I find 
myself doing it by habit once in a while and now I always notice others
do it.  My biggest problem is making sure to spell check everything.  I
spell very badly and so I frequently get the lines to match up but then
I spell check it and have to start over.  It is a real pain in the ass.

http://asciipr0n.com/fp/ascii/unpr0n/text.art.block.html has my longest
example to date.  I don't know if I will ever try to do one longer than
it, but I keep it around just so I can use it as an example for others.
