Writing is hard work
Why is writing hard work? Because we keep thinking we are making a mistake. After all all these words are sitting out there for everyone to see. If you're like me, you've a big sister or a fussy Aunt who knows how to do it 'right' and you're not.
I keep fussing. "How do I get past that 'Editor'?"
Everything I've read is that you write right through the block. You pick up a piece of paper and a pencil -- or what ever you consider your writing tools -- and write:
Writing is hard.
Then challenge that statement.
Why is it hard?
Because the pencil is broken or Because I don't know what to say.
What evidence do you have that you 'don't know what to say'?
For example, "I don't know what to say about horses, because I don't know anything about horses. I've never ridden one, I've never pet one."
Write about five minutes talking about the things that prove you "do" or "don't" know. Look at what you've written and circle the parts (or highlight on the screen) words that connect to the writing project. Then write another five or ten minutes and pick out those important points.
