Don't Get Stuck in the Middle...Or
the Beginning

Do you ever find
yourself stuck not knowing exactly how you want to start that paper
or that story due a week from today? Are you afraid that the
ideas, so well crafted in your head, will lose all their power as you put them down on paper? YES! We have all been there; a blank piece of paper is one of the scariest things a writer can face because you are creating the reality on the paper with nothing to precede it. Well, here is a tip a lot of people forget about, JUST WRITE! It sounds simple, but so many of us wish for the first sentences we type to be meaningful, well constructed and perfect that we forget that the biggest thing we should be worried about when writing a fist draft is just getting the ideas down. Talk to your page, let your hands express your thoughts and ideas without looking back; don't revise yet, there'll be plenty of time for that, for now JUST WRITE! Of course you ALWAYS want to go back and revise; do not turn that crappy first draft in or you'll be in for an unpleasant surprise! At least now you have something to work with, and remember you can always embellish and fix problems if the ideas are already there!
